(4x-3)=72

Add 3 to both sides

4x=69

Divide by 4

x=17.25

So 17.25=>0

When you add 3 to both sides, you do not get 69, you get 75.  Divide 75 by 4 and you get 18.75 not 17.25.

That was a typing mistake. Look at the original question.

4x + 3 = 72

4x + 3 - 3 = 72 - 3

4x = 69

x = 17.25

Everything is correct that way smileysmileysmiley
