b = 4 over 3x
b = Image with alt text: 4 over 3 x

b = three fourthsx
b = Image with alt text: three fourths x

x =4 over 3b
x = Image with alt text: 4 over 3 b

x = three fourthsb

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will distribute 4 to both terms inside the parenthesis:
4x - 4b = x

Next, we will isolate the x term by moving x to the other side of the equation:
4x - x = 4b

Combine like terms:
3x = 4b

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
x = (4b) / 3

So the correct answer is:

x = 4b / 3
