Question

Solve x/2 = 3x/4 + 5 (make sure to type the number only)

Answer 1

x= -20

Explanation:

x/2=3x/4+5

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.

2x=3x+20

Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x−3x=20

Combine 2x and −3x to get −x.

−x=20

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=−20
