- - We are finding the value of "X"
"x" Is representing an unknown number, one that we must solve to find.
• The first step is going to be distributing our equation.
[tex] \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4} x + - 1 = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
[tex] ( \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4} x )+ (- 1) = \frac{1}{3}
[/tex]
• Now we are going to do like terms by combining them.
[tex]x + -1 = \frac{1}{3}
[/tex]
[tex]x - 1 = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
• Now need to add "1" to both sides of our equation to get our final answer.
[tex]x-1+1= \frac{1}{3} -1[/tex]
- - Final answer; x = [tex] \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
