The given equation is

1/8(2x - 1) = 1/4(x - 1/4)

The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 8. We have

8 * 1/8(2x - 1) = 8 * 1/4(x - 1/4)

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

By expanding the parentheses on the right, it becomes

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

2x - 1 = 2x - 1/2

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we have

2x - 2x - 1 = 2x - 2x - 1/2

- 1 = - 1/2

We knpw that - 1 is not equal to - 1/2

Thus, there is no solution
