1. First I turned the fractions into decimals, just to make things easier for me.2. That gave me => (.25x)+(.75)+(.375)=(3.25)
3. Then, I combined like terms and move my equation around; so, that gave me (.25x) = (3.25) - (.75) - (.375) and when I solve the right side of the equation it gives me
(.25x) = (2.125)
4. After combining like terms and simplifying (the way I did in step 3), I will divide both sides by .25, to get the value of X alone; so, my equation then looks like => x=8.5
