Question

3x-5/2=-1/4

Answer 1

@Kulgan
u hv made a small mistake.....
when u shift - 10 to the other side it will become + 10 !!!!

@kristlbaby
i have already given the correct solution to u.......
here is it again....

the simpler method is as follows:.....

3x-5/2=-1/4

5 -1
3x - ------ = ------
2 4

Here 4 is multiple of 2, so multiply both sides by 4 (means multiply all terms by 4)
5 -1
4(3x) - 4*----- = 4*-----
2 4

u get

12x - 10 = -1 (you hv got rid of both denominators and no need to find LCD !!!!)
12x = -1 + 10
x = 9/12
x = 3/4

Answer 2

I saw your solution and did not understand where you got the -10 but as soon as i posted I understood

Answer 3

no problem........☺
