Explanation
To solve the equation: x /2 − x /4 = 2 we can start by finding a common denominator for the terms on the left side. The common denominator for x 2 frac{x}{2} x and x 4 frac{x}{4} is 4, so we rewrite the equation as: frac{2x}{4} - frac{x}{4} = 2 2 x/4 −x/ 4 = 2 Now, combine the fractions on the left side: 2 x − x /4 = 2 This simplifies to: x/4 = 2 Now, multiply both sides by 4 to isolate x x x = 8 x = 8
