Solve 32=19+3/4x-17

$$32 = 19 + \frac { 3 } { 4 } x - 17$$

Solve for x

$$x=40$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 17 from 19 to get 2.

$$32=2+\frac{3}{4}x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2+\frac{3}{4}x=32$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$\frac{3}{4}x=32-2$$

Subtract 2 from 32 to get 30.

$$\frac{3}{4}x=30$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{4}.

$$x=30\times \frac{4}{3}$$

Express 30\times \frac{4}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{30\times 4}{3}$$

Multiply 30 and 4 to get 120.

$$x=\frac{120}{3}$$

Divide 120 by 3 to get 40.

$$x=40$$
