Question

Solve for x.



1/4+1/2+x=−3/4

Answer 1

1/4 + 1/2 + x = -3/4....multiply everything by the common denominator of 4 to get rid of the fractions.

1 + 2 + 4x = -3
3 + 4x = -3
4x = -3 - 3
4x = -6
x = -6/4 which reduces to - 3/2 or - 1 1/2

Answer 2

`x=-(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+x=-(3)/(4)`. We are asked to solve for x.

Let us make common denominator as:

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

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

Add numerators:

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

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

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

`x=(-3-3)/(4)`

`x=(-6)/(4)`

`x=-(3)/(2)`

Therefore, the value of x is
`-(3)/(2)`.
