Peyton Vincent · Answer 1

C - 3x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 5/4 x + 6 to be equal to 1/2x+6 by adding something to 5/4x

5/4 x + 6 + y = 1/2x+6

We need to solve for y

Subtract 6 from each side

5/4 x + 6-6 + y = 1/2x+6-6

5/4 x + y = 1/2x

Subtract 5/4x from each side

5/4 x-5/4x + y = 1/2x-5/4x

y = 1/2x-5/4x

Get a common denominator

y = 1/2*2/2 x - 5/4 x

2/4x - 5/4 x

-3/4x
