Solve the rational equation quantity 4 times x minus 1 end quantity divided by 12 equals eleven twelfths. Answers:
x=2.5
x=2.7
x=3
x=4

Step 1 - write out the equation with numbers

4x - 1 divided by 1/12 = 11/12

Step 2 - multiply 12/1 to both sides

4x - 1 divided by 1/12 • 12/1 = 11/12 • 12/1

Step 3 - add 1 to both sides

4x - 1 + 1 = 11 + 1

4x = 12

Step 4 - divide 4 to both sides

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

Final answer

x= 3
