Solve 3/4x-1=2

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x.

$$3+4x\left(-1\right)=8x$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$3-4x=8x$$

Subtract 8x from both sides.

$$3-4x-8x=0$$

Combine -4x and -8x to get -12x.

$$3-12x=0$$

Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-12x=-3$$

Divide both sides by -12.

$$x=\frac{-3}{-12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-3}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.

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