Question

I need help with this equation. I'm not that smart so I can't figure it out-

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, first combine both fractions on the left

To add 4x-2/8 + 3+x/4 first find the least common denominator of 8 and 4

It's 8 so multiply the numerator and denominator of 3+x/4 by 8, you would get:

8x+24/32

Multiply 4x-2/8 by 4, you will get:

16x-8/32

Now you can add 16x-8/32 + 8x+24/32, you would get:

24x+16/32

Now you can start to solve for x

Your new equation is 24x+16/32 = 1/2

To solve for x, first multiply diagonally, then solve like a regular equation.

Multiply 24x+16 by 2 to get 48x+32

Then multiply 32 by 1 to get 32

Your new equation is 48x+32=32

Now subtract 32 by 32 to get 48x=0

Now divide 48 by 0 to get x=0
