Question

The letter a represents a nonzero constant. Solve x + a = 3/4
for x

Answer 1

x+a=3/4

Move a to the other side. Sign changes from +a to -a.

x+a-a=3/4-a

x=3/4-a or x=-a+3/4

Answer: x=3/4-a or x=-a+3/4

Answer 2

Answer: The required solution of the given equation is
`x=(3)/(4)-a.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for x, where a represents a non-zero constant :

`x+a=(3)/(4)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To solve the given equation for x, we must take all other terms to the right-hand side of the equation.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

`x+a=(3)/(4)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=(3)/(4)-a.`

Thus, the required solution of the given equation is
`x=(3)/(4)-a.`
