"color the piece according to your color chart." Do you have that? If you don't, I wouldn't worry, you still did all the work and got all the answers, so your teacher should be fine with it.
Answer:
x= 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−2(x+1)=
1
/4
5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)=
1
/4
(Distribute)
5x+−2x+−2=
1
/4
(5x+−2x)+(−2)=
1
/4
(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−2=
1
/4
3x−2=1
/4
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
3x−2+2=
1
/4
+2
3x=
9
/4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/
3
=
9
/4
/3
x=
3
/4
