-1/2(x-6)-1/4(x-4)-(x-7)= ?

Simplify 1/4
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Simplify 1/2
1÷2 = 0.5

The lowest common denominator of this problem is 4

16 - 3(x) / 4 - ( x - 7)

44 - 7(x) / 4

-7(x)+44 = 0

-7 - 44 = -51

-7 - 0 = -7

-7(x) = 44

-7(-1)(x) = x

-1(44) = -44

44 ÷ 7 = 6.28

We have have one solution in this problem

So, therefore x = 44/7
