Verified Answer :

(2x+3/12)=2x/8

Simplified: 2x+1/4 = x/4

Put each term in 2x+1/4 over the common denominator 4: \(2x+1/4 = (8x)/4+1/4:\)

\((8x)/4+1/4 = x/4\)



Multiply both sides by 4:
\(8x+1 = x\)


Subtract x from both sides:
\((8x-x)+1 = x-x\)

\(8x-x = 7x: 7x+1 = x-x x-x = 0:\)
\(7x+1 = 0\)


Subtract 1 from both sides:
\(7x+(1-1) = -1\)

1-1 = 0: 7x = -1


Divide both sides of 7x = -1 by 7:
(7x)/7= (-1)/7

7/7= 1 


Answer:\(x = (-1)/7\)
