Solve 3x+1/4=x

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

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{8}=-0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$3x+\frac{1}{4}-x=0$$

Combine 3x and -x to get 2x.

$$2x+\frac{1}{4}=0$$

Subtract \frac{1}{4} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

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

Divide both sides by 2.

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

Express \frac{-\frac{1}{4}}{2} as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$x=\frac{-1}{8}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{8} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{8} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{1}{8}$$
