To solve for x in the inequality 1/4x - 3/4 > 5 and 1/4, we can start by adding 3/4 to both sides of the inequality:
1/4x - 3/4 + 3/4 > 5 + 3/4
Simplifying both sides, we get:
1/4x > 20/4 + 3/4
1/4x > 23/4
Next, we can multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * (1/4x) > 4 * (23/4)
x > 23/1
So the solution to the inequality is x > 23.

SO close! but the options are
x > 18
x > 1 and 1/2
X > 24
X > 21 and 3/4
x > 18
x > 1 and 1/2
X > 24
X > 21 and 3/4
Let's solve the inequality step by step:
1/4x - 3/4 > 5 + 1/4
Combining like terms on the right side, we have:
1/4x - 3/4 > 21/4
Next, we can add 3/4 to both sides:
1/4x > 21/4 + 3/4
1/4x > 24/4
Simplifying further:
1/4x > 6
Finally, multiplying both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction, we get:
4 * (1/4x) > 4 * 6
x > 24
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 24.
1/4x - 3/4 > 5 + 1/4
Combining like terms on the right side, we have:
1/4x - 3/4 > 21/4
Next, we can add 3/4 to both sides:
1/4x > 21/4 + 3/4
1/4x > 24/4
Simplifying further:
1/4x > 6
Finally, multiplying both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction, we get:
4 * (1/4x) > 4 * 6
x > 24
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 24.
