Solve x+1/4=6/4

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 6 } { 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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

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

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

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

$$x=\frac{6}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{6}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{6-1}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}$$
