Question

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

Answer 1

I think it would be -9/4.

Answer 2

It is 1.75 first you divide 1/4 that will then give you -2(x-0.25) +1=5 then you distribute -2 so you should get -2x+0.5+1=5 then you add 0.5 to 1 giving you -2x+1.5=5 then subtract 1.5-5 then you will have -2x=3.5 then you divide -2 by 3.5 giving you 1.75
