4(x-3)=9 what is the first step

x= 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get x alone, so do inverse operations.

(Basically, reverse what it is)

4(x-3)=9

divide 4 by both sides to get rid of 4 on left side

9/4 = 2.25

(x-3) = 2.25

Now add 3 to both sides, to get x alone

2.25 + 3 = 5.25

x=5.25

Check work

4(5.25-3) = 9

4(2.25) = 9

9=9

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)
