Question

$$1/5x+4=(1-x)/2$$

Solve for x

$x=-5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $10$, the least common multiple of $5,2$.

$$2x+40=5\left(1-x\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $1-x$.

$$2x+40=5-5x$$

Add $5x$ to both sides.

$$2x+40+5x=5$$

Combine $2x$ and $5x$ to get $7x$.

$$7x+40=5$$

Subtract $40$ from both sides.

$$7x=5-40$$

Subtract $40$ from $5$ to get $-35$.

$$7x=-35$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{-35}{7}$$

Divide $-35$ by $7$ to get $-5$.

$$x=-5$$
