Question

Find x if 9/8 + x = -3/2

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

             Given data:- $\frac{9}{8}+x=\frac{-3}{2} .$

             To find:- Value of the expression.

             Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step 2:-then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

        $\frac{9}{8}+x=\frac{-3}{2} \\\Rightarrow x+\frac{9}{8}=\frac{-3}{2}\\\Rightarrow x}=-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}\\\Rightarrow x=-\frac{21}{8}$

Hence we will get the value $x=-\frac{21}{8} .$

Answer 2

To find : value of $x$

Given :  $\frac{9}{8} + x = \frac{-3}{2}$

Solution :

• To find the value of $x$, we take constants at RHS leaving variable at LHS.

• By performing simple subtraction we find the value of $x$  

        $\frac{9}{8} + x = \frac{-3}{2} \\x =\frac{-3}{2} - \frac{9}{8} \\x = \frac{-12 - 9}{8} \\x =\frac{-21}{8}$

Hence, value of $x$ is $\frac{-21}{8}$ .
