Question

Solve the equation fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator x plus 2 over denominator 2 end fraction

hintHint:

○ To get the value of x first cross multiply with their denominator.
○ Then perform basic operations to get value of x.

The correct answer is: x = -1


    ○ Given:
    Equation: fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator x plus 2 over denominator 2 end fraction
    ○ Step 1:
    ○ Cross multiply:
    fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator x plus 2 over denominator 2 end fraction
    rightwards double arrow(x + 3)  2 = (x + 2)  4
    rightwards double arrow2x + 6 = 4x + 8
    ○ Step 2:
    Group like terms:
    rightwards double arrow2x - 4x = 8 - 6
    rightwards double arrow- 2x = 2
    rightwards double arrowx = fraction numerator 2 over denominator negative 2 end fraction
    rightwards double arrowx = -1
    • Final Answer:
    x = -1
