Lesson 3.4 Solving Complex 1-variable Equations -

[ \frac{3(x - 4)}{2} + 5 = \frac{2x + 1}{3} - 4 ]

Uh-oh. Kael felt a chill. The scroll warned: “If you see the same variable on both sides, do not panic. Add or subtract them to one side.” lesson 3.4 solving complex 1-variable equations

Left: (-x + x + 8 = 8) Right: (2 - x + x = 2) [ \frac{3(x - 4)}{2} + 5 = \frac{2x + 1}{3} - 4 ] Uh-oh

[ -x + 8 = 2 - x ]

Add 4: (x = 8)

[ 8x - 4 + 3x = 10x + 4 ]
