solve 2/4 = x - 3/4

x = ?

1 answer

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

First, simplify both sides of the equation:

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

Next, add 3/4 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:

1/2 + 3/4 = x - 3/4 + 3/4
1/2 + 3/4 = x
(1/2) * (2/2) + (3/4) * (2/2) = x
2/4 + 6/4 = x
8/4 = x
x = 2

Therefore, x = 2.
