Solve 2x+1/5=1/4

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$2x+1=\frac{1}{4}\times 5$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and 5 to get \frac{5}{4}.

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

Subtract 1 from both sides.

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

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

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

Since \frac{5}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.

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

Divide both sides by 2.

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

Express \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2} as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}$$
