21/2x−3/4(2x+5)=3/8

Answer 1

Alright so simplify \[9x+\frac{−15 }{ 4 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 2

And add \(\frac{ 15 }{ 4 }\)to sides
\[9x+\frac{ -15 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 15 }{ 4 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }+\frac{ 15 }{ 4 }\]
\[9x=\frac{ 33 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 3

wait that first fraction is 2 1/2

Answer 4

So now divide by \(9\)
\[\frac{ \frac{ 33 }{ 8} }{ 9 }\]

Answer 5

37 /18

Answer 6

37 1/8

Answer 7

Oh waitt so it's separate like this?
\[2\frac{ 1}{ 2 }x-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(2x+5)\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

and it equals 3/8

Answer 10

my answers are
x=−4 5/8​

x=−3 3/8

​ x=4 1/8 ​

​ x=5 3/8 ​

Answer 11

Okay so if your problem looks like this \(2\frac{ 1}{ 2 }x-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(2x+5)=\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }\)

Add \(\frac{ 15 }{ 4 }\)to both sides.
\[x+\frac{ -15 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 15 }{ 4}=\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }+\frac{ 15 }{ 4 }\]
which would equal
\[x=\frac{ 33 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 12

And so as a mixed number it would be \[x=4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]
