Question

Solve: 2x - 10 / 4 = 3x

Answer 1

x = -10/4

Explanation:

`2x - (10)/(4) = 3x \\ 2x - 3x = (10)/(4) \\ - x = (10)/(4) \\ x = - (10)/(4)`

Answer 2

x = -2.5 or -5/2

Explanation:

1. Solve

2x = 3x + 10/4

-x = 10/4

x = -10/4

x = -2.5

2. Check Answer

2( -2.5) = 3( -2.5) + 10/4

- 5 = - 7.5 + 10/4

-5 = -5
