Question

solve the equation $3x - 4y = 16$ for $x$.\
\
\\(\bigcirc\\) a. $x = \frac{4y}{3} + \frac{16}{3}$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) b. $x = \frac{16}{3} - \frac{4y}{3}$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) c. $x = 3(16 + 4y)$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) d. $x = 4y + 16$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the x term

Add $4y$ to both sides:
$3x = 16 + 4y$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 3:
$x = \frac{4y}{3} + \frac{16}{3}$

Answer:

A. $x = \frac{4y}{3} + \frac{16}{3}$
