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

X = 17/6

Steps:

1. Simplify both sides of the equation.

(1/2x+x) + (1-1/4) = 5 (Combine like terms)

-> 3/2x+3/4=5

2. Subtract 3/4 from both sides.

3/2x+3/4=5

-3/4 - 3/4

3/2x=17/4

3. Flip 3/2 then multiply both sides by 2/3.

(2/3) 3/2x=17/4 (2/3)

X=17/6

I'm sorry if there's errors.
