Question

Solve1 over 25 = 5x + 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

4  1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

25=5x+4.

We move all terms to the left:

25-(5x+4.)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(5x+4)+25=0

We get rid of parentheses

-5x-4+25=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-5x+21=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-5x=-21

x=-21/-5

x=4+1/5

   

Answer 2

Answer:

-99/125 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

1/25 = 5x+4

multiply each side by 25 to get rid of the fraction

25*1/25 = 25*(5x+4)

1 = 125x +100

Subtract 100 from each side

1-100 = 125x +100-100

-99 = 125x

Divide each side by 125

-99/125 = 125x/125

-99/125 =x
