Question

Solve the equation for x in terms of c.
2/3(cx+1/2)-1/4=5/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer you have chosen is not correct. Let's walk through the simplification process, shall we?

Begin by adding over the 1/4, after you find the common denominator, that is. 5/2 with a denominator of 4 is 10/4:

`(2)/(3)(cx+(1)/(2))=(11)/(4)` and then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3:

`cx+(1)/(2)=(33)/(8)` then subtract the 1/2 in the form of 4/8 (common denominator and all...) to get

`cx=(29)/(8)` and finally divide both sides by c to get

`x=(29)/(8c)` That's choice C.
