Answer:


x=-1

Explanation:


(7)/(2)x+(1)/(2)x=(1)/(2)+(9)/(2)x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


(7)/(2)x+(1)/(2)x=(1)/(2)+(9)/(2)x


((7)/(2)x+(1)/(2)x)=(9)/(2)x+(1)/(2) (Combine Like Terms)


4x=(9)/(2)x+(1)/(2)


4x=(9)/(2)x+(1)/(2)

Step 2: Subtract
(9)/(2)x from both sides.


4x-(9)/(2)x=(9)/(2)x+(1)/(2)-(9)/(2)x


(-1)/(2)x=(1)/(2)

Step 3: Multiply both sides by
((2)/(-1)).


((2)/(-1))*((-1)/(2)x)=((2)/(-1))*((1)/(2))


x=-1

Therefore,
x=-1 will be your final answer.

Sorry this took very long. I had to calculate all of this.
