Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to add x & 1/4x.
Pretend there's a 1 infront of x, so that the equation looks like:
1x + 1/4x = 15
To combine the two terms, we need to get the 1 to have the same denominator as 1/4, so let's multiply 1 (which is the same as 1/1) by 4/4.
You get 4/4! Substitute that into the equation:
4/4x + 1/4x = 15
Now combine the terms:
(4/4x + 1/4x = 5/4x)
5/4x = 15
Finally, multiply both sides by 4/5 to cancel out the 5/4:
x = 15*4/5
x = 60/5
x = 12
