І3 - 3/4xІ = 1/4
3 - 3/4x = 1/4
Clear both fractions. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4
4(3) - (4)3/4x) = 4(1/4)
12 - 3x + 1
Transpose 12
12 - 3x - 13 = 1 - 12
- 3x = - 11
Divide both sides of the equation by - 3
- 3x / - 3 = - 11 / - 3
x = - 11 / - 3
x = 11 / 3
x = 3 2/3

3-3/4x = 1/4
+3 +3
-3/4x= -11/4
x -4/3 x-4/3
x= 44/12
simplified
x=11/3

i believe there are 2 answers, because of the absolute sign. First multiply both sides with 4 to get it in all whole numbers, easier to see:
4(|3-3/4x|) = 4(1/4)
|12-3x| = 1
Therefore 3x =11 or 3x= 13 because the absolute sign would remove the - in front of the second answer.

I3-3/4xI=1/4
Either 3-3/4x=1/4 or -(3-3/4x)=1/4
12-3x=1 or -12+3x=1
-3x=-11 or 3x=13
x=11/3 or x=13/3 ans

|3 - 3/4x| = 1/4
3- 3x/4 = 1/4 or -(3-3x/4) =1/4
1)3- 3x/4 = 1/4
3x/4 = 11/4
x= 11/3
2)-(3-3x/4) =1/4
-3+3x/4=1/4
3x/4 = 13/4
x=13/3

we have
3-3/4x=1/4
therefore12x-3/4x=1/4
12x-3=4x/4
12x-3=x
12x-x=3
11x=3
x=3/11

You must solve two equations:
3 - 3/4x= 1/4 ..................................... 3 - 3/4x= -1/4
- 3/4x= 1/4 - 3 ..................... .......... - 3/4x = -1/4 -3
- 3/4x= -11/4 ..................... ........ -3/4x = -13/4
3/4x = 11/4..................... ........ 3/4x = 13/4
3 = 4x(11/4) ..................... ....... 3 = 4x(13/4)
3 = 11x ..................... ................. 3 = 13x
3/11 = x ..................... ................ 3/13 = x
Answer x = ( 3/11, 3/13)

|3-(3)/(4x)|=(1)/(4)
3-(3)/(4x)=\((1)/(4))
3-(3)/(4x)=(1)/(4)
-(3)/(4x)=-(11)/(4)
-3*4=-11*4x
-11*4x=-3*4
-44x=-3*4
-44x=-12
x=(3)/(11)
3-(3)/(4x)=-((1)/(4))
-(3)/(4x)=-3-((1)/(4))
-(3)/(4x)=-(13)/(4)
-3*4=-13*4x
-13*4x=-3*4
-52x=-3*4
-52x=-12
-(52x)/(-52)=-(12)/(-52)
x=-(12)/(-52)
x=(3)/(13)
x=(3)/(11),(3)/(13)
x=(3)/(11)
