Question

If 2x+1/4 = 12/20 what is the value of x?

Answer 1

7/10 or 0.7

Explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

2x+1 / 4 = 12 /20

(2x+1)*(20)=(12)*(4)

40x+20=48

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

40x+20−20=48−20

40x=28

Step 3: Divide both sides by 40.

40x /40 = 28 /40

x= 7 /10

Answer:

x= 7 /10

7/10 = 0.7

Answer 2

2x+1=12/5
2x=7/5
x=7/10
