Solve 1=3x+1/4

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

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

Divide both sides by 3.

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

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

$$x=\frac{3}{4\times 3}$$

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

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