Question

Solve for x. x + 1/2 = 3/4

X=_______________________

Answer 1

x = 1 / 4

1 / 4 + 1 / 2 = 0.75 = 3/4

Answer 2

`x=(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

In order to get the answer to this question you will have to subtract 1/2 on both sides:

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

Subtract 1/2 on both sides:

`-(1)/(2) -(1)/(2)`

Subtract 1/2 from 3/4:

`(3)/(4) -(1)/(2)`

Find the common denominator:

`CD=4`

`2*2=4`

`1*2=2`

`=(2)/(4)`

Do the same with the second fraction:

`4*1=4`

`3*1=3`

`=(3)/(4)`

Subtract the numerators:

`3-2=1`

Keep the denominator the same:

`=(1)/(4)`

`x=(1)/(4)`

Hope this helps.
