Answer:
Delaney solve for X by isolating it, or getting it by it self
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−2(x+1)=1/4 (distribute the 2)
5x-2x - 2 = 1/4 (subtract 2x from 5x)
3x -2 +2 = 1/4 +2 (add 2 to both sides)
3x = 2_1/4 (put 2 & 1/4 together)
3x = 9/4 (convert 2_1/4 to 9/4)
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]*3*x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]*[tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] ( mutilply both sides by 1/3)
X = 3/4 (cross multiply )
There you go
X = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5x - 2(x+1)=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Use the distributive property for 2(x + 1).
[tex]5x - 2x - 2= \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Subtract 2x from 5x.
[tex]3x - 2= \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Bring 2 to the right hand side of the equation .
[tex]3x = \frac{1}{4} + 2[/tex]
Add 1/4 & 2.
[tex]3x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{8}{4} \: \: [LCM = 4]\\3x = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]
Now, bring 3 to the right hand side of the equation .
[tex]x = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\\x = \frac{9}{12}\\\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}[/tex]
