3X - 4 = 66

add 4 to each side

3X - 4 + 4 = 66 + 4

3X = 70

divide each sides integers by 3

(3/3)X = 70/3

X = 70/3

------------------check in original equation

3(70/3) - 4 = 66

210/3 - 4 = 66

70 - 4 = 66

66 = 66

---------------checks ( naturally, you could have canceled here, 3(70/3) and just got 70 )
