Question

How do you solve `x+1/4x=30`?

Answer 1

Combine the x-terms and isolate x to solve.

Explanation:

`x+1/4x=30`
Since `x` can be written as `4/4x`:
`4/4x+1/4x=30`
`5/4x=30`
Now we can multiply both sides by `4` and divide both sides by `5`:
`(4/5)(5/4x)=30(4/5)`
`x=24` which is our final answer.
