Question

solve the following equation
9x/12+4=x-8
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$9x \div 12 + 4 = x - 8 \\ 9x + 48 = 12x - 96 \\ 48 + 96 = 12x - 9x \\ 144 = 3x \\ x = 144 \div 3 \\ x = 48$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{9x}{12} +4=x-8$

$\frac{9x+48}{12}= x-8\\9x+48= 12(x-8)\\9x+48= 12x-96\\12x- 9x= 48+ 96\\3x= 144\\x= 48$
