the equation is
3/4 (8x-16) = 3/4
get 3/4 on the r.h.s.
(8x-16)=3/4 / 3/4
then open the bracket when u get one on the r.h.s
8x-16=1
get 16 on the r.h.s so that it becomes positive
8x=16
x= 16/8
x=2 ans.

3/4 times a certain number equals 3/4. We know that this number has to be "1" which is represented in this equation by 8x-16.
So 8x-16=1 or 8x = 1 +16 = 17. x = 17/8 =2.125

ok i think this is right: first you divide the entire problem by 3/4 which makes both 3/4's at the ends cancel eachother out. then you divide (8x-16) by the recipricol of 3/4's which is 4/3. you then get (32x-64)/3. then you can reduce the top by 32 and get as the denominator : 32(x-2) over 3. so ur final answer is : 32(x-2) / 3. I am almost possitive this is the answer and the procedures to solve this equation. Good LUCK!

3/4 (8x - 16) = 3/4
First, use the distributive property on the left side of the equation.
6x - 12 = 3/4
Now multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate fractions.
24x - 48 = 3
Now isolate the variable on the left side of the equation by adding 48 to both sides.
24x = 51
Finally, divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable and then simplify the resulting fraction.
x = 51/24 , simplifies to 17/8

4/3 * [3/4 (8X-16)]=3/4 * 4/3
8x - 16 = 1
8x - 16 + 16 = 1 + 16
8x = 17
8x/8 = 17/8
x = 17/8

3/4(8x-16)=3/4
3/4*8x=6x
3/4*16=12
6x-12=3/4
6x-12+12=3/4+12
6x=12 3/4
6x=51/4
6x/6= 51/4* 1/6= 51/24= 2 3/24= 2 1/8

basically it's 3/4 times what number will equal 3/4. so you need to get 8x-16=1.
8x-16=1
8x=17
x= 17/8

you do 3/4 times 8x and then 3/4 again times 16 (distribute) so you get 3/4(8x) - 3/4(16) = 3/4
hope i helped alot..please choose me for best answer in 4 hrs! thanks
