7/4 - x = 2
x = -1/4.
1/4 (7-4 x) = 2

Answer 1

right

Answer 2

The equation is right ! It is :
\[\frac74-x=2\]
Now you have to solve it !

Answer 3

1/4

Answer 4

Or :
\[\frac{-1}4\]
??

Answer 5

-1/4

Answer 6

i dont get ut

Answer 7

The equation is :
\[\frac74-x=2\]
So :
\[-x=2-\frac74\]
so :
\[-x=\frac14\]
so :
\[x=\frac{-1}4\]
