Question

7/2x+1/2x = 18+ 9/2x

Answer 1

x=-36

Explanation:

Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2

then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

`4x=18+(9)/(2) x`

-9/2x -9/2x

`-(1)/(2) x=18` because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2

then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

`((2)/(-1))(-(1)/(2)x)=((2)/(-1))(18)`

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it

x=-36
