Question

solve the equation one-half x plus one equals one-fourth

Answer 1

so its

\[\frac{1}{2} x + 1 = \frac{1}{4}\]

subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

what do you get...?

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+1=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+1-1=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }-1\]
\[2*\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x=(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }-1)2\]
\[x=(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }-1)2\]
