Math Problem Statement

2+3/4x=x-3/4

Solution

To solve the equation 2+34x=x342 + \frac{3}{4}x = x - \frac{3}{4}, follow these steps:

Step 1: Eliminate the fractions.

Multiply every term by 4 (the denominator of the fractions) to eliminate the fractions:

4×2+4×34x=4×x4×344 \times 2 + 4 \times \frac{3}{4}x = 4 \times x - 4 \times \frac{3}{4}

This simplifies to:

8+3x=4x38 + 3x = 4x - 3

Step 2: Rearrange the equation.

Move all the terms involving xx to one side and the constant terms to the other side:

8+3=4x3x8 + 3 = 4x - 3x

This simplifies to:

11=x11 = x

So, the solution is x=11x = 11.

  2. How would the solution change if the equation were 234x=x+342 - \frac{3}{4}x = x + \frac{3}{4}?
  3. Can you solve for xx if the equation includes another variable?
  4. How do you graph the equation 2+34x=x342 + \frac{3}{4}x = x - \frac{3}{4}?
  5. What if the equation had more fractions with different denominators?

Tip: Always remember to check your solution by substituting the value of xx back into the original equation to verify the result!
