1/4 + 1/2 + x = −3/4
get a common denominator 1/4
1/4 +2/4 +x = -3/4
combine like terms
3/4 +x =-3/4
subtract 3/4 from each side
x = -3/4 -3/4
x = -6/4
divide top and bottom by 2
x = -3/2
x = -1 1/2
Answer : x = -1 1/2
Cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 24
24x/6=36
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9
Well let's say x = -1000
That's what I would do
