Question

How do I solve 2x=3/4

Answer 1

$2x= \frac{3}{4}$

To get x on it's own we need to divide by 2 on both sides:

$x= \frac{ \frac{3}{4} }{2}$

This is the same as:

$x= \frac{3}{4} / \frac{2}{1}$

We can flip and multiply to solve the division of fractions:
$\frac{3}{4}* \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3*1}{4*2} = \frac{3}{8}$

So now the equation (and solution) is:

$x= \frac{3}{8}$
