To find the equation that has a solution of -1/2, we can substitute -1/2 into each of the equations and see which one gives us a true statement. Let's go through each equation to find the solution:
1) 2x + 1 = -1/2
Substituting -1/2 for x:
2(-1/2) + 1 = -1/2
-1 + 1 = -1/2
0 = -1/2
The equation 2x + 1 = -1/2 is not true when x = -1/2, so it is not the solution.
2) 4x + 2 = -1/2
Substituting -1/2 for x:
4(-1/2) + 2 = -1/2
-2 + 2 = -1/2
0 = -1/2
The equation 4x + 2 = -1/2 is not true when x = -1/2, so it is not the solution.
3) -3x + 4 = -1/2
Substituting -1/2 for x:
-3(-1/2) + 4 = -1/2
3/2 + 4 = -1/2
11/2 = -1/2
The equation -3x + 4 = -1/2 is also not true when x = -1/2, so it is not the solution.
Since none of the equations are true when x = -1/2, we can conclude that there is no equation among these options that has a solution of -1/2.

Responses
x + 12 = −1
x plus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction equals negative 1
x − 12 = 1
x minus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction equals 1
x + 1 = 12
x plus 1 equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction
x − 1 = −12
