Translate the sentence to an equation. Then solve and check.

3/4 of a number is equal to 36.

The equation is [?] . (Type an equation using x as the variable.)


The solution is x= [?] . (Simplify your answer.)

Respuesta :

Suppose that x is that number thus:

[tex] \frac{3}{4} x = 36 \\ [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4

[tex]4 \times \frac{3}{4} x = 4 \times 36 \\ [/tex]

[tex]3x = 144[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{144}{3} \\ [/tex]

[tex]x = 48[/tex]

There u go...
