Solve for x

Question

1/4 + 1/2x = 4

Answer 1

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
