Question

Solve for x. 2 1/2x−3/4(2x+5)=3/8

Answer 1

$2 \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{3}{4}(2x+5)= \frac{3}{8}$
$2 \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{6}{4}x- \frac{15}{4}= \frac{3}{8}$
$( 2\frac{1}{2}- \frac{6}{4})x= \frac{3}{8}+ \frac{15}{4}$
$( \frac{5}{2}- \frac{6}{4})x= \frac{3}{8}+ \frac{15}{4}$
$( \frac{10}{4}- \frac{6}{4})x= \frac{3}{8}+ \frac{30}{8}$
$\frac{4}{4}x= \frac{33}{8}$
$x= \frac{33}{8}=4 \frac{1}{8}$

Correct answer: C
