Let's translate your words into numbers and fractions. So it's
5/4 - 1/x - 2 = -4/-4.
Let's Simplify it first by eliminating -4/-4, the answer will be 1 since negative divided by negative is positive and 4 divided by 4 is 1.
5/4 - 1/x - 2 = 1
Then Get the GCF of the equation which is 4x.
Then divide the whole equation by 4x and it would be,
<span><u>5/4 - 1/x - 2 = 1
</u></span> 4x
Then it will look like this, 5x-8x-4 = 4x
Then transpose, 5x - 8x - 4x = 4
Simplify by deducting the left side. -7x = 4
Then divide both sides by -7.
Then the final answer would be x = -4/7
Let the price of 1 shirt be represented by = s
A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt, then the cost of pants is = 2s
The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $18 , means : 
Solving this we get,
So, the price of 1 shirt is $6 and price of 1 pair of pants is = 2s = 2*6 = $12.
