Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

2) combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

3) distribute

4) combine fractions with common denominator

5) combine like terms

6) multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

7) cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

8) multiply the numbers

9) add 35/4 to both sides of the equation

10) simplify

( add the numbers twice)

11) divide both sides of the equation by the same term

12) simplify

(divide the numbers, cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator, and last but not least move the variable to the left)

well and behold your answer is x=1
