Answer:
<u>x=-1.5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, you need to rearrange so the x is on one side of the "=" by itself.
So To do that, first you need to subtract 1/4 on both sides of the "=". This leaves you with 1/2+x=-3/4-1/4. You can simplify the -3/4-1/4 to -1 (-4/4). So, you now have 1/2+x=-1.
The next step is to subtract 1/2 on both sides of the "=". This leaves you with x=-1-1/2. Again, you can simplify the -1-1/2 to -3/2 which can be written as -1.5. So, you now have x=-1.5, which is the final answer.
The question may ask you to write your answer in the form of a fraction, in which case your answer x=-3/2. If the questions wants it written as a mixed number, your answer would be -1 1/2.
