To find the solution to the equation x + 1/2 = -1/4, we can start by subtracting 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x + 1/2 - 1/2 = -1/4 - 1/2
This simplifies to:
x = -1/4 - 1/2
To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator of 4.
x = -1/4 - 2/4
This simplifies to:
x = -3/4
Therefore, the equation x + 1/2 = -1/4 is equivalent to the equation x = -3/4.
Which of the following equations has the same solution as the equation x+1/2=-1/4?
