Question

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 find x pretty please

Answer 1

[tex]\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x - 2(x+1)=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

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

[tex]5x - 2x - 2= \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Subtract 2x from 5x.

[tex]3x - 2= \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Bring 2 to the right hand side of the equation .

[tex]3x = \frac{1}{4} + 2[/tex]

Add 1/4 & 2.

[tex]3x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{8}{4} \: \: [LCM = 4]\\3x = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

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

[tex]x = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\\x = \frac{9}{12}\\\boxed{\bf\:x = \frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step 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)

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]*3*x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]*[tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] ( mutilply both sides by 1/3)

X = 3/4 (cross multiply )

There you go

X = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
