Question

x/2+x+2/3+x-1/4=x and x-2/4+2x-1/4=x-1/2​

Answer 1

Since the bases are the same, then I can equate the powers and solve:

1 – x = 4

1 – 4 = x

–3 = x

Then my solution is:

x = –3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2+x+2/3+x-1/4=x

x/2+x+x+2/3-1/4=x

x/2+2x+8-3/12=x

x/2+2x+5/12=x

x/2+2x+5/12-x=0

x/2+x+5/12=0
