Solve x+1/4=2/3

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5}{12}\approx 0.416666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$x=\frac{8}{12}-\frac{3}{12}$$

Since \frac{8}{12} and \frac{3}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{8-3}{12}$$

Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.

$$x=\frac{5}{12}$$
