Answer:

29

x = --------- Answer C is the correct one.

8c

Explanation:

First, let's combine the constants -1/4 and 5/2. Adding 1/4 to both sides, we get (2/3)(cx + 1/2) = 11/4. The LCD here is (3)(4), or 12.

Multiplying both sides by 12, we get:

8(cx + 1/2) = 33.

We want to isolate cx. To get started, divide both sides by 8, resulting in:

cx + 1/2 = 33/8, or cx + 4/8 = 33/8, or cx = 29/8.

Isolate x by dividing both sides by c:

29

x = --------- Answer C is the correct one.

8c
