Solve 1/2=x+1/4

$$1 / 2 = x + 1 / 4$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Subtract \frac{1}{4} from both sides.

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

Least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 4.

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

Since \frac{2}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

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