Question 276107
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{3}{4}\left(12x\ +\ 8\right)\ =\ 50]


Step 1:  Distribute the factor outside of the parentheses:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9x\ +\ 6\ =\ 50]



Step 2:  Add -6 to both sides:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9x\ +\ 6\ -\ 6\ =\ 50\ -\ 6]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9x\ =\ 44]


Step 3:  Multiply both sides by *[tex \Large \frac{1}{9}]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)9x\ =\ 44\,\cdot\,\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ =\ \frac{44}{9}]
