Solve 3/4 + 2/q = 1

\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{q} = 1

Step by step

  1. \frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{q} = 1

    Start from the equation as given.

  2. 8 - q = 0,\quad 4 q \neq 0

    Multiply through by the common denominator, then solve the resulting polynomial. Exclude values that make a denominator 0.

  3. q = 8

    Solve for the variable.
