Question

Which equation shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant terms isolated on the other side for the equation Negative one-half x + 3 = 4 minus one-fourth x?

Negative one-fourth x = 1
Negative three-fourths x = 1
7 = one-fourth x
7 = three-fourths x

Answer 1

Negative one-fourth x = 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Negative one-fourth x = 1

Explanation:

To solve this question, the best thing to do is write what we have in the form of an equation.

Following the question, we have

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

This is same as;

-x/2 + 3 = 4 - x/4

Collecting like terms , we have;

-x/2 + x/4 = 4-3

-x/4 = 1

From the options, the answer is thus Negative one-fourth x = 1
