1. Problem Description

The problem requires solving equations. The instructions say to pick any 2 from #1-4 and solve those equations.
I will solve equation #1 and #

2. Equation #1: $\frac{3}{4}(x+20)=9$

Equation #2: 42(x5)x=194-2(x-5)-x=-19

2. Solution Steps

Solving equation #1: 34(x+20)=9\frac{3}{4}(x+20)=9
Multiply both sides by 4:
3(x+20)=363(x+20)=36
Distribute the 3 on the left side:
3x+60=363x+60=36
Subtract 60 from both sides:
3x=36603x=36-60
3x=243x=-24
Divide both sides by 3:
x=243x=\frac{-24}{3}
x=8x=-8
Solving equation #2: 42(x5)x=194-2(x-5)-x=-19
Distribute the -2 on the left side:
42x+10x=194-2x+10-x=-19
Combine like terms on the left side:
143x=1914-3x=-19
Subtract 14 from both sides:
3x=1914-3x=-19-14
3x=33-3x=-33
Divide both sides by -3:
x=333x=\frac{-33}{-3}
x=11x=11

3. Final Answer

The solution to equation #1 is x=8x=-8.
The solution to equation #2 is x=11x=11.
