1/2 (-3/5x+1) + 7/4=31/12+1/5x.

Solve for X.

For this equation x will equal to x=-2/3

Multiply everything by 12 * 5 if you want to get rid of fractions - it's not needed, but i do prefer dealing with integers. Regardless of that previous step, you distribute the first group (1/2 * - 3/5x + 1/2 * 1). Then separate x to one side of the equal sign, everything else to the other side.
