-1/4x+5=3/4. I can't get access to the answer to this question! And, my request on "contact us" will not go through!!

For this case we must solve the following linear equation:[tex]- \frac {1} {4} x + 5 = \frac {3} {4}[/tex]Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation we have:[tex]- \frac {1} {4} x = \frac {3} {4} -5\\- \frac {1} {4} x = \frac {3-20} {4}\\- \frac {1} {4} x = - \frac {17} {4}[/tex]Multiplying by 4 on both sides of the equation:[tex]-x = -17[/tex]Multiplying by -1 on both sides of the equation we have:[tex]x = 17[/tex]Answer:[tex]x = 17[/tex]
