1/4(x-3)=2
1/4x-3/4=2
1/4x=2 3/4
1/4x=11/4
x=11/4(4/1)
x=11

if the question (1/4)(x-3) = 2
x-3 = 2*4
x = 8 + 3
x = 11
if 1/ [ 4(x-3)] = 2
1 = 2 [ 4(x-3)]
1 = 8 ( x-3)
1 = 8x - 24
25 = 8x
25/8 = x

1/4(x-3)=2 Multiply both sides by 4
x-3=8 Add 3 to both sides
x=11

1/4(x - 3) = 2
x - 3 = 8 {multiply by 4}
x = 11 {add 3}

multiply both sides by 4. the result would be x- 3 = 8. add both sides by 3. then the answer would be x = 11. thats the easiest way of solving that problem.

if by this you mean
(1/4)(x - 3) = 2
x - 3 = 8
x = 11
