To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fractions:
4 * (1/4 + 1/2x) = 4 * 4
When we distribute the 4 on the left side of the equation, we get:
1 + 2x = 16
Next, we can subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the 2x term:
1 - 1 + 2x = 16 - 1
This simplifies to:
2x = 15
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = 15/2
This gives us the solution:
x = 15/2
Solve for x
1/4 + 1/2x = 4
