Question

MEDAL WILL BE GIVEN(:
(-3/4)x + 2 = (1/2)x + 6
a. -3.2
b. 5/4
c. 16
d. 4
Also, could you explain to me how you got the answer please? Thank you in advance. I can't figure out how to do these equations with fractions.

Answer 1

well... do you know how to add fractions?

Answer 2

first you want to isolate the x. subtract 6 from both sides. then, add 3x/4 to both sides. You then are left with -4=5x/4. Multiply both sides by 4. 5x=-16. Divide both sides by 5. x=-3.2, or 3 and 1/5

Answer 3

Your answer is A

Answer 4

(-3/4)x + 2 = (1/2)x + 6
lets look at d LHS first
(-3/4)x + 2
-3x+8/4
for RHS
x+12/2
-3x+8/4=x+12/2
cross multiply
2(-3x+8)=4(x+12)
-6x+24=4x+48
-10x=32
x=-(32/10)=-3.2

Answer 5

Thank you all so much.

Answer 6

Any time...
