9\textbf{9}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

You're right, let's complete that!

  1. Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.

    To add 2 and 14\frac{1}{4}, we convert 2 to a fraction with a denominator of 4:

    2=2×44=842 = \frac{2 \times 4}{4} = \frac{8}{4}

    Now, add the fractions:

    2+14=84+14=8+14=942 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8+1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}

    So the equation becomes:

    14x=94\frac{1}{4}x = \frac{9}{4}
  2. Solve for xx.

    To isolate xx, multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

    4×14x=4×944 \times \frac{1}{4}x = 4 \times \frac{9}{4} x=9x = 9

    The value of xx is 9\boxed{\textbf{9}}.
