Another effective strategy for helping students improve their mathematics performance is related to solving word problems. More specifically, it involves teaching students how to identify word problem types based on a given problem’s underlying structure, or schema. Before learning about this strategy, however, it is helpful to understand why many students struggle with word problems in the first place.
Difficulty with Word Problems
Most students, especially those with mathematics difficulties and disabilities, have trouble solving word problems. This is in large part because word problems require students to:
The additive inverse of a number is just the opposite of the given number. For example; 2 and the additive inverse is -2.
If we apply this to the number we are given, we get 19.57

Answer:
X = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation add 3 to both sides of the equation
1/2x-3+3=2-3/4x+3
Simplify
1/2x = -3/4x + 5
Add 3/4x to both sides
1/2x + 3/4x = -3/4x + 5 + 3/4x
Simplify
5/4x=5 Multiply both sides by 5
5x=20 divide both sides by 5
5x divided by 5 and 20 divided by 5
=4
