\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}x=2
Add \frac{1}{4}x to both sides.
\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}=2
Combine \frac{3}{2}x and \frac{1}{4}x to get \frac{7}{4}x.
\frac{7}{4}x=2+\frac{1}{4}
Add \frac{1}{4} to both sides.
\frac{7}{4}x=\frac{8}{4}+\frac{1}{4}
Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.
\frac{7}{4}x=\frac{8+1}{4}
Since \frac{8}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{7}{4}x=\frac{9}{4}
Add 8 and 1 to get 9.
x=\frac{9}{4}\times \frac{4}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{4}.
x=\frac{9\times 4}{4\times 7}
Multiply \frac{9}{4} times \frac{4}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{9}{7}
Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.
