What is the solution of 5/2x-7=3/4x+14? a. x=-6 b. x=6 c. x=8 d. x=13

Firstly, add 7 on both sides of the equation:

Next, before you can subtract 3/4x on both sides, you first have to find the LCD, or lowest common denominator, of 2 and 4. To find it, you would list the multiples of both and the lowest multiple they share is their LCD. In this case, the LCD is 4. Multiply 5/2 by 2/2 and 3/4 by 1/1:

Now subtract 3/4x on both sides of the equation:

Lastly, multiply both sides by 4/7 and your answer will be x = 12.

the answer is 1 becuz if it were 1.0 that would rip apart the entire so ya. : )
