Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation modelling the statement is
[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] - 1 = 2 ( [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex] - 3 ) ← distribute parenthesis by 2
[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] - 1 = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] - 6 ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )
2x - 6 = 3x - 36 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 6 = x - 36 ( add 36 to both sides )
30 = x
