Answer 2

Option A: (-1/4)x=1

Explanation:

In this question we are given an algebraic expression with one variable term denoted as
`x` and some constant terms. The expression reads as:

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

Thus the first term on the left hand side and the second term on the right hand side,
`-(1)/(2)x` and
`-(1)/(4)x`, respectively are our Variable terms.

The second term on the left hand side and the first term on the right hand side,
`3` and
`4` respectively, are our Constant terms.

To find which equation from the available options shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant terms isolated on the other side for the equation, we just have to solve Eqn(1) as follow:

`-(1)/(2)x+(1)/(4)x=4-3` Gather Equal terms on each side

`-(2)/(4)x+(1)/(4)x=1` Make common denominator on Left hand side

`-(1)/(4)x=1` Simplify

Looking at the available options are our result matches Option A
