1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation 4x2+12=34\frac{4}{x-2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we want to isolate the term with xx. Subtract 12\frac{1}{2} from both sides of the equation:
4x2+1212=3412\frac{4}{x-2} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2}
4x2=3424\frac{4}{x-2} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4}
4x2=14\frac{4}{x-2} = \frac{1}{4}
Next, we can cross-multiply to solve for xx:
44=1(x2)4 \cdot 4 = 1 \cdot (x-2)
16=x216 = x - 2
Add 22 to both sides of the equation:
16+2=x2+216 + 2 = x - 2 + 2
18=x18 = x
Therefore, x=18x = 18.

3. Final Answer

x=18x = 18
