Question

Solve this one variable equation.

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }+\frac{ x+3 }{ 10 }=1\]

Answer 2

First subtract 1/4 from both sides

Answer 3

Okay.

Answer 4

Which is, 3/4

Answer 5

yes,

(x+3)/10=3/4

now cross multiply

Answer 6

By 10?

Answer 7

Yeah you could do that.

so x+3=(3/4)*10

x+3=30/4
x=(15/2)-3

Answer 8

Okay, thanks. But don't I also multiply x+3 by 10?

Answer 9

No, its being divided on the left side so when you multiply both sides by it it just magically disappears.

Answer 10

:O Magical. Okay. xD
