Solve for x. (4x-8)/(x-1)=(3)/(4) Answer:

Cross-multiply fractions: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions. (4x - 8)/(x - 1) = 3/4 Cross-multiplying gives us: 4 * (4x - 8) = 3 * (x - 1)Distribute numbers: Distribute the numbers on both sides of the equation. 16x - 32 = 3x - 3Move terms, constants: Move all terms containing x to one side of the equation and constants to the other side. 16x - 3x = 32 - 3Combine like terms: Combine like terms. 13x = 29Divide by 13: Divide both sides by 13 to solve for x. x = 29/13Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction (if possible). x = 2.23076923077 (This is the decimal form of 29/13, which cannot be simplified further.)

Q. Solve for

\mathrm{x}

\newline

\frac{4 x-8}{x-1}=\frac{3}{4}

\newline

Answer:

Cross-multiply fractions: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions. $\newline$ $(4x - 8)/(x - 1) = 3/4$ $\newline$ Cross-multiplying gives us: $\newline$ $4 \times (4x - 8) = 3 \times (x - 1)$
Distribute numbers: Distribute the numbers on both sides of the equation. $16x - 32 = 3x - 3$
Move terms, constants: Move all terms containing $x$ to one side of the equation and constants to the other side. $16x - 3x = 32 - 3$
Combine like terms: Combine like terms. $13x = 29$
Divide by $13$ : Divide both sides by $13$ to solve for $x$ . $x = \frac{29}{13}$
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction (if possible). $\newline$ $x = 2.23076923077$ (This is the decimal form of $\frac{29}{13}$ , which cannot be simplified further.)
