Your answer was correct it equals 4
Get common denominators, and solve for each expression
7/5 - 3/4 = 28/20 - 15/20 = 13/20
1/4 + 2/5 = 5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20
These two fractions are equivalent

25000
you don't show the graph, but graphing y=x^2 it is a U shaped line that starts at (0,0) and the lines go upwards on both sides of the Y axis,
This means all real numbers above 0 and 0 will solve it
so the range is y≥0
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
