Options:
(A)x = StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction
(B)x = Negative StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction
(C)x minus one-fourth = negative StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction
(D)x = negative three-halves
(E)x = negative three-fourths
Answer:
(B)x = Negative StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction
[tex]-\dfrac{6}{4}[/tex]
(D)x = negative three-halves
[tex]-\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to determine which fraction is equivalent to
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}+x=-\dfrac{5}{4}\\$First, we collect like terms$\\x=-\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4} \\\\=\dfrac{-5-1}{4}\\=-\dfrac{6}{4}\\x=-\dfrac{6}{4}[/tex]
This value of x is the result in Option B.
Reducing [tex]-\dfrac{6}{4}[/tex] to its lowest form:
[tex]-\dfrac{6}{4}=-\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] which is Option D.
Therefore, the correct options are: B and D
