Question

Solve the equation for x in terms of c. 2/3(cx+1/2)-1/4=5/2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer you have chosen is not correct. Let's walk through the simplification process, shall we?

Begin by adding over the 1/4, after you find the common denominator, that is. 5/2 with a denominator of 4 is 10/4:

$\frac{2}{3}(cx+\frac{1}{2})=\frac{11}{4}$ and then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3:

$cx+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{33}{8}$ then subtract the 1/2 in the form of 4/8 (common denominator and all...) to get

$cx=\frac{29}{8}$ and finally divide both sides by c to get

$x=\frac{29}{8c}$  That's choice C.
