How to solve x + 1/4 = 5/4

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$$

Solve for x

$x=1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{1}{4}$ from both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{5-1}{4}$$

Subtract $1$ from $5$ to get $4$.

$$x=\frac{4}{4}$$

Divide $4$ by $4$ to get $1$.

$$x=1$$
