Question

Deepak wrote out the steps to his solution of the equation 5/2-3x-5+4x=-7/4

Answer 1

x = 3/4

Explanation:

5/2-3x-5+4x=-7/4

Combine like terms

-10/2 + 5/2 +x = -7/4

-5/2+ x = -7/4

Add 5/2 to each side

-5/2+5/2 +x = -7/4 + 5/2

x = -7/4+5/2

Get a common denominator

x = -7/4 + 10/4

x = 3/4
