Answer:

Explanation:

The answer you have chosen is not correct. Let's walk through the simplification process, shall we?

Begin by adding over the 1/4, after you find the common denominator, that is. 5/2 with a denominator of 4 is 10/4:


(2)/(3)(cx+(1)/(2))=(11)/(4) and then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3:


cx+(1)/(2)=(33)/(8) then subtract the 1/2 in the form of 4/8 (common denominator and all...) to get


cx=(29)/(8) and finally divide both sides by c to get


x=(29)/(8c) That's choice C.
