Solution

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step.

  1. First, let's isolate the term with the variable on one side of the equation. To do this, we add 5 to both sides of the equation:

    9x45+5=74+5\frac{9x}{4} - 5 + 5 = \frac{7}{4} + 5

    This simplifies to:

    9x4=74+5\frac{9x}{4} = \frac{7}{4} + 5

  2. Now, let's convert 5 into a fraction with 4 as the denominator so we can add it to 74\frac{7}{4}. We know that 5 is equivalent to 204\frac{20}{4}, so we substitute 5 with 204\frac{20}{4}:

    9x4=74+204\frac{9x}{4} = \frac{7}{4} + \frac{20}{4}

  3. Now, we add the fractions on the right side of the equation:

    9x4=274\frac{9x}{4} = \frac{27}{4}

  4. Finally, to solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 94\frac{9}{4}, which is 49\frac{4}{9}:

    9x449=27449\frac{9x}{4} * \frac{4}{9} = \frac{27}{4} * \frac{4}{9}

    This simplifies to:

    x=279x = \frac{27}{9}

  5. Simplifying the right side gives us the solution:

    x=3x = 3

So, the solution to the equation 9x45=74\frac{9x}{4} - 5 = \frac{7}{4} is x=3x = 3.
