Substitute the value of x back into the equation x + 3 – 2x = negative 2 x equals negative StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction plus StartFraction one-half EndFraction x plus 5. + x + 5 to justify the solution. What value of x is the solution?

x =

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster
