Solve x+1/5=3/4

$$\frac { x + 1 } { 5 } = \frac { 3 } { 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4} = 2.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$x+1=\frac{3}{4}\times 5$$

Express \frac{3}{4}\times 5 as a single fraction.

$$x+1=\frac{3\times 5}{4}$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$x+1=\frac{15}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{15}{4}-1$$

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

$$x=\frac{15}{4}-\frac{4}{4}$$

Since \frac{15}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{15-4}{4}$$

Subtract 4 from 15 to get 11.

$$x=\frac{11}{4}$$
