Due to lack of brackets will assume:-
(5 / 2) x + (1 / 4) x = 11 / 4 + x
10x + x = 11 + 4x
7x = 11
x = 11 / 7

x= 11/7?

how i did it-
11/4x=11/4+x (added the two x values to the left)
7/4x=11/4 (subtract 4/4 on each side)
x=11/7 (divided 11/4 by 7/4 which is the same as 11/4times 4/7)

5/2x + 1/4x = 11/4 + x----------------*4
10x+x=11+4x
11x-4x=11
7x=11
x=11/7
