X+1/2=3/4

1 answer

To solve this equation for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Given:

x + 1/2 = 3/4

To get rid of the fraction 1/2, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

2(x + 1/2) = 2(3/4)

This simplifies to:

2x + 1 = 3/2

Next, we need to isolate the term with x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:

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

Simplifying further:

2x = 3/2 - 2/2

2x = 1/2

Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:

(2x)/2 = (1/2)/2

x = 1/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1/4.
