Multiply nos. in brackets by the one outside it.
4 * 1/4= 1
4 * x= 4x
4x+1= 5
4x=5-1
4x=4
Divide both sides by 4 to get rid of the number in front of x
x=1

Distribute the 4: Get 1 + 4x= 5 Now, solve for x:
4x= 5-1
4x=4
x=1

So, the first step to solving this is the distributive property.
4 (1/4 + x) =5.
4 * 1/4 + 4 * x =5.
1 + 4x =5
You then subtract one from both sides, leaving you with...
1 + 4x =5.
-1 -1
4x = 4
Once you do that, all that's left is to divide both sides by 4.
4x =4.
/4 /4
1x (or x) =4
x =4

4(1/4 + x) = 5 given
4/4 + 4x = 5 distributive property
1 + 4x = 5 simplify
4x = 4 subtract one from each side
x = 1 divide each side by 4 to isolate x
x = 1 final answer
