Question

Solve x – 1/4=1/2 for x.

Answer 1

`x = (3)/(4)`

Explanation:

`x - (1)/(4) = (1)/(2)\\\\x - (1)/(4) + (1)/(4) = (1)/(2) + (1)/(4)`
`[ \ (1)/(4) \ on \ both \ sides \ ]`

`x + 0 = (1)/(2) + (1)/(4)`
`[ \ (1)/(4) - (1)/(4) = 0 \ ]`

`x = (1)/(2) + (1)/(4)\\\\x = (2 + 1 )/(4)\\\\x = (3)/(4)`
