Solve 1/4*2+x+1

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } \times 2 + x + 1$$

Evaluate

$$x = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and 2 to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$\frac{2}{4}+x+1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}+x+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+x+\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+2}{2}+x$$

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{2}+x$$

Factor

$$\frac{2x+3}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{3+2x}{2}$$

Consider 1+2x+2. Multiply and combine like terms.

$$2x+3$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$\frac{2x+3}{2}$$
