Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

a) Simplify both sides of the equation.

2 = 1/4x + -7/4

b) Flip the equation

1/4x + -7/4 = 2

c) Add 7/4 to both sides.

1/4x + -7/4 + 7/4 = 2 + 7/4

1/4x = 15/4

d) Multiply both sides by 4.

4 * (1/4x) = 4 * (15/4)

x = 15

2=-(7)/(4) +(1)/(4) x

Simplify both sides:


2=(-7)/(4) +(1)/(4) x


2=(1)/(4)x+(-7)/(4)

Let's flip the equation:


(1)/(4) x+(-7)/(4) =2

Now, let's add 7/4 to both sides:


(1)/(4x)+(-7)/(4) +(7)/(4) =2+(7)/(4)


(1)/(4) x=(15)/(4)

Multiply both sides by 4:


4*((1)/(4)x)=4*((15)/(4) )


x=15

Tried my best. Sorry if it's wrong.

Hope this helps!
