OpenStudy (mathmale):

Which equation looks closest to the given equation? Look carefully.

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

1ST ONE

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE

@MrHirohito

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I have to disagree, because the sign is wrong. Look again. Go thru each possible answer. @pnathaniel56: If your attention span is so short that you ask someone else for help before you and I have gotten anywhere, then I'm not sure I can help you.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Very disappointing for me.

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

sorry @mathmale

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

the fith one i believe is right

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

are u there

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Why?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Look at the given equation:\[x-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }=12\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Go through all of the answer choices, one at a time. Anything you do to one side, you must do to the other side. If you use this process correctly you'll find the correct answr.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

For example: If we add 3/4 to the left side, we MUST also add 3/4 to the right side. Try this yourself.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Look at \[x-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }=12\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] again. If we wish to solve this equation for x, we MUST add 3/4 to both sides of the equation. Why? My point is that no matter what you do to one side, you must do the same to the other side. Again I urge you to try experimentation here.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

And yes, altho' the problem statement doesn't say so, the goal here is to solve for x. The wording of the problem seems to imply that there could be more than 1 correct answer.
