%283%2F4%29X+=+14%2B%281%2F2%29%28X-16%29
%283%2F4%29X=14%2B%281%2F2%29X-16%2F2
%283%2F4%29X=14%2B%281%2F2%29X-8
%283%2F4%29X=6%2B%281%2F2%29X
%283%2F4%29X-%281%2F2%29X=6%2B%281%2F2%29X-%281%2F2%29X
%283%2F4%29X-%282%2F4%29X=6
%281%2F4%29X=6
4%2A%281%2F4%29X=4%2A6
%284%2F4%29X=24
1X=24
highlight%28X=24%29
:
Check, let x=24 and see if both sides are equal:
(3/4)24=14+(1/2)(24-16)
(3)6=14+(1/2)(8)
18=14+4
18=18 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
