The mathematical expression is
5x = 1/4
Divide:
x = (1/4)/5 = (1/4)*5 = 5/4 (ANSWER)
The expression x-4 will come out to be a negative integer. That means X <em>has to be </em>something that when 4 is taken away from it, the answer is still negative.
Let's try 5.
5-4 is 1. Is 1 negative? No, so that doesn't work.
4-4 is 0. 0 isn't negative either, so that doesn't work.
3-4 is -1. Is -1 negative? YES! Let's try it for 2 as well, just to be safe.
2-4 is -2. Still negative.
X can be anything less than 4.
40%
Because, 2/5 equals 4/10. 10x10=100, so 4x10=40, so 40%.
4p-13p-p=-150
-9p-p=-150
-10p=-150
<u>p=15
Order of operations. Doing so turns it into a simple division equation.</u>
