Solve x=(7/2)-7/2

$$x = \frac { ( \frac { 7 } { 2 } ) - 7 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{7}{4} = -1\frac{3}{4} = -1.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{14}{2}.

$$x=\frac{\frac{7}{2}-\frac{14}{2}}{2}$$

Since \frac{7}{2} and \frac{14}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{\frac{7-14}{2}}{2}$$

Subtract 14 from 7 to get -7.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{2}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-7}{2\times 2}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{-7}{4}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{4} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{7}{4}$$

Assign x

$$x≔-\frac{7}{4}$$
