Solve 2x+2=3/4

$$2x+2= \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{5}{8}=-0.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$2x=\frac{3}{4}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$2x=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{8}{4}$$

Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{8}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{3-8}{4}$$

Subtract 8 from 3 to get -5.

$$2x=-\frac{5}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{5}{4}}{2}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{5}{4}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-5}{4\times 2}$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$x=\frac{-5}{8}$$

Fraction \frac{-5}{8} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{8} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{5}{8}$$
