Verified Answer :

1/4 + 1/2 + x = -3/4....multiply everything by the common denominator of 4 to get rid of the fractions.

1 + 2 + 4x = -3
3 + 4x = -3
4x = -3 - 3
4x = -6
x = -6/4 which reduces to - 3/2 or - 1 1/2

Answer:

\(x=-\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation \(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+x=-\frac{3}{4}\). We are asked to solve for x.

Let us make common denominator as:

\(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1*2}{2*2}+x=-\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}+x=-\frac{3}{4}\)

Add numerators:

\(\frac{1+2}{4}+x=-\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}+x=-\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{4}+x=-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{4}\)

\(x=\frac{-3-3}{4}\)

\(x=\frac{-6}{4}\)

\(x=-\frac{3}{2}\)

Therefore, the value of x is \(-\frac{3}{2}\).
