Question

Solve the equation for x in terms of c.


`\large \sf (2)/(3) (cx + (1)/(2) ) - (1)/(4) = (5)/(2)`
​

Answer 1

• x = 29 / (8c)

Explanation:

• (2/3)(cx + 1/2) - 1/4 = 5/2
• (2/3)cx + 1/3 - 1/4 = 5/2
• (2/3)cx + 1/12 = 5/2 Multiply all terms by 12
• 8cx + 1 = 30
• 8cx = 29
• x = 29 / (8c)
