5x/2 - 3x/4 = 10 1/2
how to solve this? ​


Sagot :

[tex] \frac{5x}{2} - \frac{3x}{4} = 10 \frac{1}{2} \\ [/tex]

[tex] \frac{5x}{2} - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{21}{2} \\ [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4

[tex]4 \times ( \frac{5x}{2} - \frac{3x}{4} ) = 4 \times \frac{21}{2} \\ [/tex]

[tex]10x - 3x = 42[/tex]

[tex]7x = 42[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex] \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{42}{7} \\ [/tex]

[tex]x = 6[/tex]
