Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given:

Solve each equation.

Check your solutions.

x /2 = x + 1/4

  • Solving:

From the given: [tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{x+1}{4}[/tex]

Applying fraction cross multiply: [tex]\mathrm{if\;\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c}[/tex]

[tex]x\cdot \:4=2\left(x+1\right)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]x\cdot \:4=2x+2[/tex]

Subtract 2x from both sides:

[tex]x\cdot \:4-2x=2x+2-2x[/tex]

[tex]2x=2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2}{2}[/tex]

x = 1

As a result, x = 1

  • Check Answer:

We can substitute to check our solution:

1/2 = 1 + 1/4

1/2 = 1/2

Hence, x = 1
