Question

Solve for x: 3/4x + 1/4 =2x

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

3/4x + 1/4 =2x

3/4x=2x-1/4

3/4x-2x= -1/4

3/4x-8/4x= -1/4

-5/4x= -1/4

x= -1/4+ 5/4

x=4/4

x=1

Answer 2

x = 1/5

Explanation:

Simplfy:

3x/4 + 1/4 = 2x

Join the denominators:

3x + 1/4 = 2x

Multiply both sides by 4:

3x + 1 = 8x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

1 = 8x - 3x

Simplify:

1 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 1/5
