Question

Solve the equation one-half times x plus three-fourths equals one-fourth for x.

x equals one-fourth
x equals negative one-fourth
x equals 1
x equals negative 1

Answer 1

1/2x + 3/4 = 1/4 --- multiply the entire equation by the LCD, which is 4
(4) 1/2x + (4)3/4 = (4)1/4
2x + 3 = 1 -- subtract 3 from both sides
2x + 3 - 3 = 1 - 3 -- combine like terms
2x = -2 -- divide both sides by 2
x = -1
