Solve x+0.25/3-x=0.5

$$\frac { x + 0.25 } { 3 } - x = 0.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-0.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$x+0.25-3x=1.5$$

Combine x and -3x to get -2x.

$$-2x+0.25=1.5$$

Subtract 0.25 from both sides.

$$-2x=1.5-0.25$$

Subtract 0.25 from 1.5 to get 1.25.

$$-2x=1.25$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{1.25}{-2}$$

Expand \frac{1.25}{-2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{125}{-200}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{125}{-200} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x=-\frac{5}{8}$$
