(x+3)/2+x-1/4=5
You asked:
Solve the equation \(\frac{x + 3}{2} + x - \frac{1}{4} = 5\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5\]
\[\begin{aligned}\frac{x + 3}{2} + x - \frac{1}{4} &= 5\\\frac{3 x}{2} + \frac{5}{4} &= 5\\\frac{3 x}{2} &= \frac{15}{4}\\x &= \frac{5}{2}\end{aligned}\]
