Question

1 3/4+16+ blank equals 7 1/2 answer please

Answer 1

`x =-(41)/(4)`

or

`x =-10(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given:

The given expression is.

`1(3)/(4)+16+... = 7(1)/(2)`

Let x be the blank space.

`1(3)/(4)+16+x = 7(1)/(2)`

Now we solve the given equation for x.

`1(3)/(4)+16+x = 7(1)/(2)`

Now we substitute
`1(3)/(4)=1+(3)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)=(7)/(4)` Simlarly
`7(1)/(2)=(15)/(2)`in above equation.

`(7)/(4)+16+x = (15)/(2)`

`x = (15)/(2)-(7)/(4)-16`

`x = (15* 2 - 7 - 16* 4)/(4)`

`x = (30 - 7 - 64)/(4)`

`x = (30 - 71)/(4)`

`x =-(41)/(4)`

or

`x =-10(1)/(4)`

Therefore the value of blank space is
`-(41)/(4)` or
`-10(1)/(4)`
