Solve 4(x/36)=3x/2-12

Evaluate

4 \times \frac{x}{36} = (3 \times \frac{x}{2}) - 12

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{x}{9} = (3 \times \frac{x}{2}) - 12

Multiply the terms

\frac{x}{9} = \frac{3 x}{2} - 12

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

\frac{x}{9} \times 18 = (\frac{3 x}{2} - 12) \times 18

Simplify the equation

More Steps

2 x = (\frac{3 x}{2} - 12) \times 18

Simplify the equation

More Steps

2 x = 27 x - 216

Move the variable to the left side

2 x - 27 x = - 216

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 25 x = - 216

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

25 x = 216

Divide both sides

\frac{25 x}{25} = \frac{216}{25}

Solution

x = \frac{216}{25}

Alternative Form

x = 8.64
