Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -2: 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
Combine like terms: 3x - 2 = 1/4
Add 2 to both sides: 3x = 9/4
Divide both sides by 3: x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4
