Answer:

\boxed {x = - \frac{9}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of x :

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

-Use Distributive Property:

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

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

-Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{4} to the lowest terms by canceling out 2 :

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

-2x - \frac{1}{2} + 1 = 5

- Convert the integer 1 to \frac{2}{2} :

-2x - \frac{1}{2} + 1 = 5

-2x - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = 5

-Since both fractions -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, you add the numerators together:

-2x - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = 5

-2x + \frac{1}{2} = 5

-Change the integer 5 to \frac{10}{2} and subtract \frac{1}{2} on both sides. Then, when both fractions have the same denominator, you subtract them, by subtracting the numerators:

-2x +  \frac{1}{2} -  \frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{2}  -  \frac{1}{2}

-2x = \frac{9}{2}

-Divide by Multiplying 2 and -2 :

\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{9}{2 (-2)}

x = \frac{9}{-4}

-Rewrite the answer:

x = \frac{9}{-4}

\boxed {x = - \frac{9}{4}}
