Question 113914


{{{(3/2)x-14=16}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(2)((3/2)x-14)=(2)(16)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 2. This will eliminate the fractions  (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver>solver</a>)




{{{3x-28=32}}} Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side




{{{3x=32+28}}}Add 28 to both sides



{{{3x=60}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(60)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x




{{{x=20}}} Divide
