Question

Help me solve showing work

Answer 1

3x + 8.75 Or 3x + ³⁵⁄₄

Step-by-step explanation:

• I'm going to convert all the fractions into decimals

⁻¹⁄₂x + 9.5 + x - ¾ + 2.5x

• = -0.5x + 9.5 + x - 0.75 + 2.5x

• Group like terms

-0.5x + x + 2.5x + 9.5 - 0.75

• Add similar elements: -0.5x + x + 2.5x = 3x

= 3x + 9.5 - 0.75

• Add / subtract: 9.5 - 0.75 = 8.75

3x + 8.75 Or 3x +³⁵⁄₄
