please help me to solve this equation i tried to look it up on multiple websites but they only confused me 9/4-1/(2x)=4/x



Answer :

solve for x
so assuming that the fractions are
(9/4)-(1/*2x))=4/x then
get all x on one side
add 1/(2x) to both sides
9/4=(4/x)+(1/(2x))
make common denomators with x and 2x
common denomenator is 2x
4/x times 2/2=8/(2x)
9/4=8/(2x)+1/(2x)
add
9/4=9/(2x)
make common denomators with 4 and 2x
common denomator is 4x
9/4 times x/x=9x/(4x)
9/(2x) times 2/2=18/(4x)
9x/(4x)=18/(4x)
multiply both sides by 4x to clear fraction
9x=18
divide both sides by 9
x=2
