A. x=-5
B. x=-4
C. x=4
D.x=5​

Answer 1

C is always the answer

Answer 2

B) x = -4

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)x-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8)+(1)/(2)x\\\\(1)/(4)x-(1)/(2)x-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8)\\\\(1)/(4)x-(1)/(2)x=(7)/(8)+(1)/(8)\\\\(1)/(4)x-(1*2)/(2*2)=(7+1)/(8)\\\\(1)/(4)x-(2)/(4)x=1\\\\(1-2)/(4)x=1\\\\(-1)/(4)x=1\\\\x=1*(-4)/(1)\\\\x=-4`
