Question

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 find x pretty please

Answer 1

Delaney solve for X by isolating it, or getting it by it self

Explanation:

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 (distribute the 2)

5x-2x - 2 = 1/4 (subtract 2x from 5x)

3x -2 +2 = 1/4 +2 (add 2 to both sides)

3x = 2_1/4 (put 2 & 1/4 together)

3x = 9/4 (convert 2_1/4 to 9/4)

`(1)/(3)`*3*x =
`(1)/(3)`*
`(9)/(4)` ( mutilply both sides by 1/3)

X = 3/4 (cross multiply )

There you go

X =
`(3)/(4)`

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = (3)/(4)}`

Explanation:

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

Use the distributive property for 2(x + 1).

`5x - 2x - 2= (1)/(4)`

Subtract 2x from 5x.

`3x - 2= (1)/(4)`

Bring 2 to the right hand side of the equation .

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

Add 1/4 & 2.

`3x = (1)/(4) + (8)/(4) \: \: [LCM = 4]\\3x = (9)/(4)`

Now, bring 3 to the right hand side of the equation .

`x = (9)/(4) * (1)/(3)\\x = (9)/(12)\\\boxed{\bf\:x = (3)/(4)}`
