Question

Slove for x: x+1/3=1/4

Answer 1

Hey!


To solve this problem, we must subtract one over three from both sides of the equation. This will give us x on its own.

Original Equation :
$x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4}$

New Equation {Added Subtract $\frac{1}{3}$ to Both Sides} :
$x + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$x=- \frac{1}{12}$

So, this means that in the equation provided,  $x=- \frac{1}{12}$.

Hope this helps!
