Kelly tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation one over two plus three over x equals three over four b

ecomes unsolvable. Kelly explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to Kelly how the equation is still solvable and explain your reasoning.

1/2 + 3/x = 3/4
3/x = 3/4 - 1/2
3/x = 3/4 - 2/4
3/x = 1/4....this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(1)(x) = (3)(4)
x = 12

check..
1/2 + 3/12 = 3/4
6/12 + 3/12 = 3/4
9/12 = 3/4
3/4 = 3/4 (correct)

so x = 12

Answer:

we are given a variable equation as:

\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3}{4}

we can take variable on one side and constant terms on the other to get

\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3-1\times 2}{4}\\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3-2}{4}\\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\x=12

Hence on solving the following variable equation we get that x=12.

Divide 5 1/2, or 11/2 by 3/4. You can do that by multiplying 11/2 and 4/3 to get 44/6. Simplify and you get 22/3, which is about 7.33 or 7 1/3. If he can only paint whole dog houses, the answer is 7.
