Answer: Each term of the equation can be multiplied by [tex]4[/tex] to eliminate the fractions before solving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

[tex]-\frac{3}{4}m-\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{4}m[/tex]

You need to simplify before solve it.

Notice that the denominators are different, then you must find the Least Common Denominator (LCD).

Descompose the denominators into their prime factors:

[tex]4=2*2=2^2\\2=2[/tex]

Choose [tex]2^2[/tex], because it has the highest exponent. Then:

[tex]LCD=2^2=4[/tex]

Finally you can multiply on both sides by 4 in order to  to eliminate the fractions before solving:

[tex](4)(-\frac{3}{4}m)-(4)(\frac{1}{2})=(4)(2)+(4)(\frac{1}{4}m)\\\\-3m-2=8+m[/tex]
