Question

Solve the following equation:

$3x-\frac{1}{2}x=2\frac{1}{2}$

• A. $4$
• B. $2$
• C. $1$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1$

Given, $3x-\frac{1}{2}x=2\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 3x-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$

Cancelling the common terms, we get

$x=1$
