3 x / 4 - 16 = 44 Add 16 to both sides
3 x / 4 - 16 + 16 = 44 + 16
3 x / 4 = 60 Multiply both sides by 4
3 x = 240 Divide both sides by 3
x = 240 / 3
x = 80
Proof :
3 * 80 / 4 - 16 = 240 / 4 - 16 = 60 - 16 = 44
3 x / 4 - 16 + 16 = 44 + 16
3 x / 4 = 60 Multiply both sides by 4
3 x = 240 Divide both sides by 3
x = 240 / 3
x = 80
Proof :
3 * 80 / 4 - 16 = 240 / 4 - 16 = 60 - 16 = 44
