Answer:

x = 8/3

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x − 1/ 3 − 3 − x/ 2 = x/ 4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x − 1 /3 − 3 − x /2 = x /4

2x + −1 /3 + −3 + −1 /2 x = 1 /4 x

(2x + −1 /2 x) + ( −1 /3 + −3) = 1 /4 x (Combine Like Terms)

3 /2 x + −10 /3 = 1 /4 x

3 /2 x + −10 /3 = 1/ 4 x

Step 2: Subtract 1/4x from both sides.

3 /2 x + −10 /3 − 1 /4 x = 1 /4 x − 1 /4 x

5 /4 x + −10 /3 = 0

Step 3: Add 10/3 to both sides.

5 /4 x + −10 /3 + 10 /3 = 0 + 10 /3 5 /4 x = 10 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 4/5.

( 4 /5 )*( 5 /4 x) = ( 4 /5 )*( 10 /3 )

x= 8 /3

Really hope this helps :)
