You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
To solve for x you can begin by recognizing that you can get rid of the denominator
on the left side by multiplying both sides by 4 as follows:
.
.
On the left side, the 4 in the denominator divides into the 4 in the numerator, a division that
results in 1 times x. You can look at this as just canceling the 4 in the denominator with
the 4 in the numerator as follows:
.
.
After "crossing out" the 4 in the denominator with the corresponding 4 in the numerator, you
are left with just x on the left side. So you have:
.
.
Multiply out the right side. 4 times -6 is -24 and you can substitute -24 for the multiplication
and you have the answer:
.
.
That's the answer ... and how you get it step by step.

Hope this helps you to understand the problem and a few of the procedures you can use solve
equations.
