Answer 1

x = - 1

Explanation:

Given

`(3)/(4)` x + 3 - 2x = -
`(1)/(4)` +
`(1)/(2)` x + 5

Multiply through by 4 ( the LCM of 4 and 2 ) to clear the fractions

3x + 12 - 8x = - 1 + 2x + 20 ( simplify both sides )

- 5x + 12 = 2x + 19 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 7x + 12 = 19 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 7x = 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

x = - 1
