Mult. both sides of this eq'n by 4 will remove the fraction 1/4, a good idea.

Then 20x - 8(x+1) = 1, or 20x - 8x - 8 = 1

Combining the x terms, 12x = 9.  Dividing both sides by 12, x = 9/12, or 3/4.

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

5x - 2x - 1 = 1/4

3x - 1 = 1/4

3x = 5/4

x = 5/12
