Question

Solve for x.

Answer 1

2 1/2x - 3/4(2x + 5) = 3/8
5/2x - 3/2x - 15/4 = 3/8
5/2x - 3/2x = 3/8 + 15/4
x = 3/8 + 30/8
x = 33/8 or 4 1/8

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 212x−34(2x+5)=38.

To find : Solve for x.

Solution : We have given

212x−34(2x+5)=38.

Remove parenthesis

212 x - 68 x - 170 = 38

Solve like terms

144x - 170 = 38.

On adding both sides by 170.

144 x = 38 + 170.

144 x = 208.

On dividing both sides by 144

x = $\frac{208}{144}$
