Answer 1

option C gives, x = 8

Explanation:

A.

`(5)/(2)x+(7)/(2)=(3)/(4)x+14`

`(5)/(2) x-(3)/(4) x = 14-3.5`

`(10)/(4) x-(3)/(4) x = 10.5`

`(7)/(4) x = 10.5`

`x=(10.5*4)/(7)`

`x = 6`

B.

`(5)/(4)x-9=(3)/(2)x-12`

`(5)/(4)x-(3)/(2)x=-12+9`

`(5-6)/(4) x = -3`

`-x = 4(-3)`

`x =12`

C.

`(5)/(4)x-2=(3)/(2)x-4`

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

`(5)/(4)x-(6)/(4)x=-2`

`-x = (-2)*4`

`x=8`

D.

`(5)/(2) x-7 = (3)/(4)x+14`

`(5)/(2) x-(3)/(4)x = +14+7`

`(10)/(4) x-(3)/(4)x = +21`

`(7)/(4) x=21`

`x= (21*4)/(7)`

`x = 12`
