Which of the following equations has the same solution as the equation x+1/2=-1/4?

1 answer

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.
