What is the solution of the equation x- 9/4 =-3/8

1 answer

To solve the equation x - 9/4 = -3/8, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can simplify both sides of the equation:

x - 9/4 = -3/8

We can find a common denominator for the fractions on the right side by multiplying -3/8 by 2/2:

x - 9/4 = (-3/8) * (2/2)
x - 9/4 = -6/16

Next, we can simplify the fraction -6/16:

x - 9/4 = -6/16
x - 9/4 = -3/8

Now, we can add 9/4 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:

x - 9/4 + 9/4 = -3/8 + 9/4
x = (-3/8 + 9/4) + 9/4

Continuing, we can find a common denominator for the fractions -3/8 and 9/4:

x = (-3/8 + 9/4) + 9/4
x = (3/4 + 9/4) + 9/4
x = (12/4) + 9/4
x = 21/4

So, the solution to the equation x - 9/4 = -3/8 is x = 21/4.
