Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} in simplest form.\newline2=34(3x+16) 2=\frac{3}{4}(3 x+16) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Write Equation: Write down the equation given by the problem.\newlineThe equation is 2=(34)(3x+16)2 = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)(3x + 16).
  2. Multiply by Reciprocal: To isolate the term with xx, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 34\frac{3}{4}, which is 43\frac{4}{3}.\newlineDoing this, we get 43×2=43×34×(3x+16)\frac{4}{3} \times 2 = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times (3x + 16).
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify both sides of the equation.\newlineOn the left side, (43)×2(\frac{4}{3}) \times 2 simplifies to 83\frac{8}{3}.\newlineOn the right side, (43)×(34)(\frac{4}{3}) \times (\frac{3}{4}) simplifies to 11, leaving us with 3x+163x + 16.\newlineSo, we have 83=3x+16\frac{8}{3} = 3x + 16.
  4. Subtract 1616: Subtract 1616 from both sides to isolate the term with xx on one side.\newline8316=3x+1616.\frac{8}{3} - 16 = 3x + 16 - 16.
  5. Combine Left Side: Simplify the left side of the equation.\newlineTo subtract 1616 from 83\frac{8}{3}, we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 33, so we convert 1616 to 483\frac{48}{3}.\newlineNow we have 83483=3x\frac{8}{3} - \frac{48}{3} = 3x.
  6. Divide by 33: Combine the terms on the left side.\newline83483\frac{8}{3} - \frac{48}{3} simplifies to 403-\frac{40}{3}.\newlineSo, we have 403=3x-\frac{40}{3} = 3x.
  7. Divide by 33: Combine the terms on the left side.\newline83483\frac{8}{3} - \frac{48}{3} simplifies to 403-\frac{40}{3}.\newlineSo, we have 403=3x-\frac{40}{3} = 3x.Divide both sides by 33 to solve for x.\newline403-\frac{40}{3} divided by 33 is 409-\frac{40}{9}.\newlineSo, we have x=409x = -\frac{40}{9}.
