Question

-6=1/4x-5 solve for x

`- 6 = 1 (1)/(4) x - 5`

Answer 1

`1(1)/(4)x-5=-6\ \ \ \ \ |\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\1(1)/(4)x=-1\ \ \ \ |\text{change the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\(5)/(4)x=-1\ \ \ \ |\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\5x=-4\ \ \ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\boxed{x=-(4)/(5)}`
