Question

$$x-\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=3+\frac{x}{4}$$

Solve for x

$x=7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$, the least common multiple of $4,2$.

$$4x-x-2=12+x$$

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$4x-x-2-x=12$$

Combine $4x$ and $-x$ to get $3x$.

$$3x-x-2=12$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$3x-x=12+2$$

Add $12$ and $2$ to get $14$.

$$3x-x=14$$

Combine $3x$ and $-x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x=14$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{14}{2}$$

Divide $14$ by $2$ to get $7$.

$$x=7$$
