How do you solve $14 = \frac{3}{4} (9 x + 12)$ $14= \frac{3}{4} ( 9x + 12)$ ?

$x = \frac{20}{27}$ $x = 20/27$

Explanation:

Use the distributive property -> $14 = \frac{27}{4} x + 9$ $14 = 27/4x +9$
Subtract 9 on both sides -> $5 = \frac{27}{4} x$ $5 = 27/4x$
Multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{27}$ $4/27$ which will give you -> $\frac{20}{27} = x$ $20/27 = x$
