Question

Solve for x. x +1/2 = 3/4

Answer 1

x + 1/2 = 3/4

set denominators equal:

x + 2/4 = 3/4

-2/4 for both sides:

x = 1/4

there you go! hope this helps!

Answer 2

x +1/2 = 3/4

subtract 1/2 from each side

x +1/2 -1/2 = 3/4 -1/2

x = 3/4 -1/2

get a common denominator of 4

x = 3/4 -1/2*2/2

x = 3/4 -2/4

x =1/4
