In order to find out the x value, we need to put x values on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side. When this switches will take place, the signs will change from + to - and vice versa to the variables or numbers that switched the sides.
¾x-8=4
¾x=4+8
¾x=12
Divide both sides with ¾.
(¾x)/(¾) = 12/(¾)
x = 12/(¾)
When a number is divided with a fraction, that is equal to the number multiplying the reversed fraction.
X= 12 * 4/3
Multiply the number and the numerator together and divide them with the denominator.
x= (12*4)/3
x=48/3
x=16
