1/4 + 1/2 +x=−3/4 i just need someone to explain how to get the answer my teacher explains everything way to confusing

First combine like terms which are the 1/4 and 1/2
The bring the rest of the equation down
Which would give u 3/4
Then u subtract 3/4 from both sides since your answer is already negative u add
Then u will get
X = -1.5

Work from the left to right.
add 1/4 and 1/2 which would give you 3/4
then subtract 3/4 from both sides of the equal sign witch would give you
x=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3 * 5 1/6 step 1correct

(-2/3 * 5) + (-2/3 * 1/6)his error is here...it should be like I have written it, but Calvin is getting his addition and multiplication mixed up

-10/3 + (-1/9) =

-30/9 - 1/9 =

-31/9 =

- 3 4/9

so he messed up in step 2

he is doing this : (-2/3 + 5) * (-2/3 + 1/6)...when he should be doing this :

(-2/3 * 5) + (-2/3 * 1/6)
