Solve 3/4=2x+1

$$\frac { 3 } { 4 } = 2 x + 1$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2x+1=\frac{3}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$2x=\frac{3}{4}-1$$

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

$$2x=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{4}$$

Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{3-4}{4}$$

Subtract 4 from 3 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.

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

Fraction \frac{-1}{8} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{8} by extracting the negative sign.

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