Question

9 + 2x + 3/4 = 5/4 then x

Answer 1

Answer:

2x = 5/4 - 9 - 3/4

2x = 5/4 - 36/4 - 3/4

2x = - 34/4

x = - 34/4 ÷ 2 =

x = - 17/4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 2x + 3/4 = 5/4

9 + 3/4 - 5/4 = 2x

9 + (-2/4) = 2x

9 + (-1/2) = 2x

18 - 1 /2 = 2x

17/2 = 2x

x = 17/2 x 1/2

x = 17/4
