Question

Solve 1/4x + 3 = 4 ?

Answer 1

Either `4` or `1/4` depending on the interpretation of the question.

Explanation:

If the `x` is multiplied by `1/4`, then

`1/4x +3 -3=4-3" "` subtract `3` from both sides

`1/4x =1" "` now multiply both sides by `4`

`x=4`

If `x` is in the denominator, then

`1/(4x) + 3 = 4`

`1/(4x) =1" "` multiply both sides by `4x`

`1=4x`

`x=1/4`

So the answer depends on if you meant for `x` to be in the denominator or multiplied by `1/4`.
