1/3 (x + 4 ) = 20 wt the answer

x = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20

We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3

1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)

1/3x = 56/3

The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.

56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)

So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56
