Question

The letter a represents a nonzero constant. Solve x + a = 3/4 for x

Answer 1

x+a=3/4

Move a to the other side. Sign changes from +a to -a.

x+a-a=3/4-a

x=3/4-a or x=-a+3/4

Answer: x=3/4-a or x=-a+3/4

Answer 2

Answer:  The required solution of the given equation is $x=\dfrac{3}{4}-a.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following equation for x, where a represents a non-zero constant :

$x+a=\dfrac{3}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To solve the given equation for x, we must take all other terms to the right-hand side of the equation.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

$x+a=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3}{4}-a.$

Thus, the required solution of the given equation is $x=\dfrac{3}{4}-a.$
