If you mean this:
1/(4x)+1/2=3/(4x)
multiply both sides by 4x
if you mean this:
(1/4) x+1/2= (3/4)x which is x/4 + 1/2 = 3x/4
multiply both sides by 4
careful, typing needs care with parentheses
Which could be a first step in solving the equation 1/4x+1/2=3/4x in an efficient way? Select two answers.
A.multiply by 4 on both sides
B.multiply by 2x on both sides
C.subtract 1/4x from both sides
D.add 1/2 to both sides

Which could be the first step in solving the equation 12(2+4x)=x+5?
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in 2+4x=x+5.Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in 2 plus 4 x is equal to x plus 5 point
Distribute the 12 to remove the parentheses, resulting in 1+2x=x+5.Distribute the 1 half to remove the parentheses, resulting in 1 plus 2 x is equal to x plus 5 point
Subtract x from both sides of the equation, resulting in 12(2+3x)=5.Subtract, , x from both sides of the equation, resulting in 1 half times open paren 2 plus 3 x close paren is equal to 5 point
Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation, resulting in 12(2)=x+5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in 2+4x=x+5.Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in 2 plus 4 x is equal to x plus 5 point
