Question

5x−2(x+1)=1/4 what is the value of x​

Answer 1

5x - 2(x+1) = 1/4
5x - 2x + 1 = 1/4
3x + 1 = 1/4
3x = -0.75
x = -0.25
Hope this helps, and please mark brainliest!

Answer 2

$5x-2(x+1)= \frac{1}{4}$

$5x-2x-2= \frac{1}{4}$

$3x - 2 = \frac{1}{4}$

4(3x - 2) = 1

12x - 8 = 1

12x = 1 + 8

12x = 9

x = $\frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$
