lets write as an equation:
x/4 + 18 = x
to get rid of fraction lets multiply the whole equation by 4:
x + 4*18 = 4x
x + 72 = 4x
3x = 72
x = 72/3
x = 24
that is the solution

(1/4)x + 18 = x

Lets start off by subtracting (1/4)x from each side. We are now left with 18= (3/4)x.

We can now divide each side by 3/4 or multiply by the reciprocal (4/3) to find our answer, which is 24.
