Question

Solve for x. x + 1/2 = 3/4 X=_______________________

Answer 1

X = 1 / 4

1 / 4 + 1 / 2 = 0.75 = 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the answer to this question you will have to subtract 1/2 on both sides:

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

Subtract 1/2 on both sides:

$-\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{2}$

Subtract 1/2 from 3/4:

$\frac{3}{4} -\frac{1}{2}$

Find the common denominator:

$CD=4$

$2\times2=4$

$1\times2=2$

$=\frac{2}{4}$

Do the same with the second fraction:

$4\times1=4$

$3\times1=3$

$=\frac{3}{4}$

Subtract the numerators:

$3-2=1$

Keep the denominator the same:

$=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}$

Hope this helps.
