Starting with the equation:
x/3 - 4 = 6
First, we need to isolate x/3 by adding 4 to both sides of the equation using the addition property of equality:
x/3 - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4
x/3 = 10
Next, we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 using the multiplication property of equality:
3 * (x/3) = 3 * 10
x = 30
Therefore, the solution to the equation x/3 - 4 = 6 is x = 30.
