Question

What's the solution to the equation?
1/2x+3/2(x+1)-1/4=5

Answer 1

15/8 is the answer in fraction form (If you need it in decimal for comment below.)

Explanation:

1/2x+3/2(x+1)-1/4=5

1/2x+3/2x+3/2-1/4=5

1/2x+3/2x+ 5/4 = 5

2x+6x+5=20

8x+5= 20

8x=20-5

8x=15

x= 15/8

Hope this helps.
