1 1/3

Explanation:

There are many methods that can be used. Today, however, I will be showing 1 method only.

The problem: 1/4(x+2) = 5/6

  • Step 1:

    1/4 xx (x+2) = 5/6

  • Step 2:

    (x+2)/4 = 5/6

  • Step 3:

    Here you will cross multiply. So it becomes:

    6(x+2) = 20

  • Step 4:

    6x+12 = 20

  • Step 5:

    6x = 8

  • Step 6:

    x = 8/6
    0r x = 1 1/3
