Answer: X=5/8

Explanation:

2*x-1/4-(1)>0

Step 1 Simplify: 1/4

(2x-1/4)-1>0

Step 2 Rewrite the whole number in an equivalent fraction:

(Subtract a fraction from a whole)

2x=2x/1=2x*4/4

Adding Fractions that have a common denominator:

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

The equation at the end of step 2:

(8x-1)/4-1>0

Step 3 Rewrite the whole as an equivalent fraction:

1=1/1=1*4/4

Adding Fractions that have a common denominator:

(8x-1)-(4)/4=8x-5/4

The equation at the End of Step 3:

8x-5/4>0

Step 4:

Multiply both sides by 4 then Divide both sides by 8.

So the answer is

x>5/8

I know it seems a lot but it's just the way I learned it. I hope you understand.
