What are two ways to solve this equation.

x = -     or   x=  4.1739

Step-by-step explanation:

 -    =  4

I will show  two methods  of solving this equation

First method

We will follow the steps below:

First find the LCM of 8 and 3

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24

Next is to multiply through by 24

Our equation becomes

24 ×  - 24×  = 24× 4

3×3x    -  8×4x    =24×4

9x  -  32x   = 96

-23x = 96

Divide both-side of the equation by - 23

-23x/-23= 96/-23

x=-        or      x=4.1739

second method

 -    =  4

  =   4

multiply both-side of the equation by 24   or cross multiply

9x - 32x = 96

-23x = 96

divide both-side of the equation by -23

x = -     or   x=  4.1739

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
