9 over 2 = 6 over x + 4

1 answer

To solve the equation, you need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the equation:

9/2 = 6/x + 4

First, we can subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to move the constant term:

9/2 - 4 = 6/x

Next, we need to simplify the left side of the equation:

9/2 - 8/2 = 6/x

(9 - 8)/2 = 6/x

1/2 = 6/x

To eliminate the fraction, we can cross multiply:

1*x = 2*6

x = 12

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 12.
