Question

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

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x-3 }{ 4 }-\frac{ x-5 }{ 2}=1\]

Answer 2

Solve for x

Answer 3

In order to subtract the equations, they must have a common denominator. Do so by multiplying (x-5) by 2/2, and subtract from then (remember, also, that the "-" will distribute out to the (x-5), making the 5 positive). Once you've simplified, then get x alone by reverse PEMDAS. If you desire more elaboration, feel free to ask.

Answer 4

Can you show me! im studying for finals and i cant get this right.

Answer 5

np;\[(x-3)/4-(x-5)/2=1\rightarrow(x-3)-(x-5)/2*(2/2)=1\]\[(x-3-2x+10)/4=1\] From then, simplify, then get x alone.
