Step-by-step explanation: -1/4x+5=3/4

1. Subtract 5 from both sides -1/4x=-17/4

2. Divide -1/4 from x and other side

-1/4x + 5 = 3/4, subtract 5 from both sides to get -1/4x = -4 1/4, then divide both sides by -1/4 to get x = 17. You can check by plugging 17 in for x in the equation.

-1/4 * 17 + 5 = 3/4

3/4 = 3/4 so it's right
