Question

2. What is the solution to the equation 1/2x + 3/2(x+1) - 1/4=5 ​

Answer 1

1/2x + 3/2(x+1) - 1/4 = 5

1/2x + 3/2(x) + 3/2 - 1/4 = 5

1/2x + 3/2(x) + 6/4 - 1/4 = 5

4/2(x) + 5/4 = 5

2x + 5/4 = 5

2x = 15/4

x = 15/8

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 2

x = 15/8

Explanation:

1/2x + 3/2(x+1) - 1/4=5 ​

1/2x + 3/2x + 3/2 - 1/4 = 5

2x + 5/4 = 5

2x = 15/4

x = 15/8
