To solve this equation, we first simplify both sides:
Left side:X + 1/4 - 2xCombine like terms:
Right side:5 - 3x/2 - (x + x - 3/8)Simplify inside the parentheses:5 - 3x/2 - 2x + 3/8Combine like terms:5 - 7x/2 + 3/8
Now the equation becomes:-x + 1/4 = 5 - 7x/2 + 3/8
To solve for x, we begin by isolating x on one side of the equation:
Add 7x/2 to both sides:7x/2 - x + 1/4 = 5 + 3/8
Multiply everything by 8 to get rid of the fractions:28x - 8x + 2 = 40 + 3
Combine like terms:20x + 2 = 43
Subtract 2 from both sides:20x = 41
Divide by 20 to solve for x:x = 41/20
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 41/20.
