Can I get some help on this question please, and a a explanation on how you got the answer too.

Work Shown:

There are 2 x's over the "1/4", so 2*1/4 = 2/4 of a quart is drank in total by this group. Let P = 2/4

There are 5 x's over the "3/4", so 5*3/4 = 15/4 quarts is drank in total by this group. Let Q = 15/4

Subtract P and Q

Q - P = 15/4 - 2/4 = (15-2)/4 = 13/4

Convert the result to a mixed number

13/4 = (12+1)/4

13/4 = 12/4 + 1/4

13/4 = 3 + 1/4

13/4 = 3 & 1/4

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.

5/12, or 5: 12
