Question

Solve the following:
2x -7 /4= x + 3/3

Answer 1

`(11)/(4)` or 2
`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Here is one way to solve this problem

2x -
`(7)/(4)` = x + 1 (3/3 is another way to write one) Multiply all the way through by 4

4(2x -
`(7)/(4)`) = 4(x + 1) Distributive property

8x -7 = 4x +4 Subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 7 = 4 Add 11 to both sides

4x = 11 Divide both sides by 4

x =
`(11)/(4)`
