Question

What is the value of x that makes the following equation true? 3/4 x + 2 = -4

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}x+2=-4 \\ \\ \frac{3}{4}x+2-2=-4-2 \\ \frac{3}{4}x=-6 \\ \\ 4(\frac{3}{4}x)=-4\cdot6 \\ 3x=-24 \\ \\ \frac{3x}{3}=-\frac{24}{3} \\ \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}$

The value of x that satisfy the equation is x=-8
