Question 698504

2x-1/x=3/4
find x.


Is it too strenuous or too difficult to use parentheses to make the problem clearer?


If it's (2x - 1)/x = 3/4, then {{{(2x - 1)/x = 3/4}}}, but {{{x <> 0}}}


4(2x - 1) = 3x ------ Cross-multiplying


8x - 4 = 3x


8x - 3x = 4


5x = 4


{{{highlight_green(x = 4/5)}}}


You can do the check!!
