Answer:
x= -2 is correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
3(-2×-2)+13(-2)+14=0
3(4)+13(-2)+14=0
12+(-26)+14=0
12-26+14=0
12+14-26=0
26-26=0
0=0
You need to find the least common denominator first which is 4. 3 3/4 can stay the same but you must have like denominators to add so change 1 1/2 to 1 2/4 by multiplying by 2/2. You know have like denominators and you can add whole numbers first 3+1=4 and then the fractions 3/4+2/4= 5/4 which is also 1 1/4. Now you add 4 so your answer is 5 1/4
X ·2 = 12x - 15
2x = 12x - 15
2x + (-12x) = (12x - 15) + (-12x)
Result: x = 3/2
8 - {x - (5 + x)}
= 8 - {x - 5 - x}
= 8 + 5
= 13
