Question

Select the correct answer

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

`(1)/(2)` -
`x` +
`(3)/(2)` =
`x` - 4

Since
`(1)/(2)` and
`(3)/(2)` have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

`(1+3)/(2)` -
`x` =
`x` - 4

Add 1 and 3 to get 4.

`(4)/(2)` -
`x` =
`x` - 4

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

2 -
`x` =
`x` - 4

Subtract x from both sides.

2 -
`x` -
`x` = -4

Combine −x and −x to get −2x.

2 - 2
`x` = -4

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-2
`x` = -4 - 2

Subtract 2 from −4 to get −6.

-2
`x` = -6

Divide both sides by −2.

`x` =
`(-6)/(-2)`

Divide −6 by −2 to get 3.

`x` = 3
