Solve: ⅓(7x - 1) = 1/4

An equation is a mathematical statement with an 'equal to' symbol between two algebraic expressions that have equal values.

Answer: The value of x is 1/4.

Let's solve the equation for x.

Explanation:

⅓(7x - 1) = 1/4

(7x - 1)/3 = 1/4

By multiplying both sides by 12, we get,

{(7x - 1)/3} ×12 = (1/4) × 12

28x - 4 = 3

28x = 7

x = 7/28

x = 1/4

Thus, the value of x is 1/4.
