solve the equation:

2x + 1-x/4 = 3

or

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

Respuesta :

The solution of the equation is  [tex]x=\frac{11}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify an equation of x

  • Simplify each side of the equation
  • Collect x in side and the numerical terms in the other side
  • Find the value of x

∵ The equation is [tex]2x + \frac{1-x}{4}=3[/tex]

- Multiply all terms of the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator

 of the 2nd term in the left hand side

∵ The equation is [tex]4(2x) +4 (\frac{1-x}{4})=4(3)[/tex]

∴ 8x + (1 - x) = 12

∴ 8x + 1 - x = 12

- Add like terms

∴ (8x - x) + 1 = 12

∴ 7x + 1 = 12

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 7x = 11

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ [tex]x=\frac{11}{7}[/tex]

The solution of the equation is  [tex]x=\frac{11}{7}[/tex]
