1/4 = 3- (2x-1 divided by x+2)
If 1/4 = 3 - (2x-1)/(x+2),
(2x-1)/(x+2) = 2 3/4 = 11/4
2x - 1 = 11/4 x + 22/4
(3/4) x = -26/4
x = -26/3
2(y+z)
To solve the equation 1/4 = 3- ((2x-1)/(x+2)), we can start by simplifying the expression on the right side of the equation.
First, we can distribute the - sign to the terms inside the parentheses:
1/4 = 3 - (2x-1)/(x+2)
Next, we can combine the terms on the right side of the equation:
1/4 = (3(x+2) - (2x-1))/(x+2)
Now, we can simplify the numerator on the right side by distributing 3 to both terms inside the parentheses and combining like terms:
1/4 = (3x + 6 - 2x + 1)/(x+2)
Simplifying further, we have:
1/4 = (x + 7)/(x + 2)
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * (1/4) = 4 * ((x + 7)/(x + 2))
1 = (x + 7)/(x + 2)
Now we can cross multiply:
1 * (x + 2) = (x + 7) * 1
x + 2 = x + 7
Next, we can move all the terms that contain x to one side of the equation:
x - x = 7 - 2
0 = 5
The equation 0 = 5 is a contradiction, which means there is no solution to this equation. Therefore, the initial problem was misunderstood, and there are no values of x that satisfy the given equation.
