how do i solve this equation 1/4= 3 - (2x-1)/(x+2)?

Answer 1

(x + 2) = (3)(4)(x + 2) - 8x + 4
x + 2 = 12x + 24 - 8x + 4
- 26 = 3x
x = - 8 2/3

Answer 2

a million/4 = 3 - [(2x - a million) / (x + 2) a million/4 - 3 = - (2x- a million / (x + 2).......(Subtract 3 from the two facets) 3 - a million/4 = (2x - a million) / (x + 2)........(Multiply the two facets via - a million) 12/4 - a million/4 = (2x - a million)(x + 2)......(Convert 3 to incorrect fraction) 11/4 = (2x - a million) / (x + 2)..........(combine like words) 11/4(x + 2) = 2x - a million...............(Multiply the two facets via (x + 2)) 11/4 x + 22/4 = 2x - a million...........(Distribute 11/4) 11/4 x - 2x = - a million - 22/4..........(Subtract 2x and 22/4 from the two facets) 11/4 x - 8/4 x = - 4/4 - 22/4....(Convert 2 to incorrect fraction) 3/4 x = - 26/4.......................(combine like words) 3x = - 26.............................(Multiply the two facets via 4) x = - 26/3.............................(Divide the two facets via 3) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Answer 3

1/4= 3 - (2x-1)/(x+2)
1/4 - 3= - (2x-1)/(x+2)
1/4 - 12/4= - (2x-1)/(x+2)
-11/4 = - (2x-1)/(x+2)
11/4=(2x-1)/(x+2)
11x+22 = 8x-4
3x = -26
x = -26/3

Answer 4

1/4=3-(2x-1)/(x+2)
=>1/4={3(x+2)-(2x-1)}/(x+2)
=>(x+2)/4=3x+6-2x+1
=>(x+2)/4=x+7
=>x+2=4x+28
=>x-4x=28-2
=>-3x=26
=>x=-26/3


**if u want u can convert into decimal.hope u understand=)

Answer 5

1/4 = 3 - (2x-1)/(x + 2)...........multiply thro` by 4(x + 2):

(x + 2) = 12(x + 2) - 4(2x - 1), so

x + 2 = 12x + 24 - 8x + 4, so

-3x = 26, so

x = -26/3.

Hope this helps, Twiggy

Answer 6

not doing your math homework for you, pay attention in math class, and convert your 1/4 into a decmal... .25 if you didnt know
