Question

please help ,Solve the following equation. (5x - 1)/2 + (-3x - 1)/4 = 9/2

Answer 1

i ended up with X=10.5 / 26 as my answer but i dont think thats right...

Answer 2

Hint: Subtract (5x-1)/2 from both sides

Answer 3

\(\large-\frac{3x + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{2} - \frac{5x - 1}{2}\)

Answer 4

Then combine the right side. Afterwards, cross multiply

Answer 5

thanks !

Answer 6

You should get \(-\frac{3x + 1}{4} = \frac{10 - 5x}{2}\) before cross multiplying

Answer 7

Hopefully, you know how to properly cross multiply. Dealing with negative fractions can get tricky.
