Answer:
x = [tex]\displaystyle\frac{11}{4}[/tex] or 2 [tex]\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract both sides of the equation by [tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} + x = 3 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]\displaystyle\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
2. (Optional Step) Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number
x = [tex]\displaystyle\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
↓
[tex]x = 2\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
