Question

$$5x+1=1/25$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{24}{125}=-0.192$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $1$ from both sides.

$$5x=\frac{1}{25}-1$$

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{25}{25}$.

$$5x=\frac{1}{25}-\frac{25}{25}$$

Since $\frac{1}{25}$ and $\frac{25}{25}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$5x=\frac{1-25}{25}$$

Subtract $25$ from $1$ to get $-24$.

$$5x=-\frac{24}{25}$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{24}{25}}{5}$$

Express $\frac{-\frac{24}{25}}{5}$ as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-24}{25\times 5}$$

Multiply $25$ and $5$ to get $125$.

$$x=\frac{-24}{125}$$

Fraction $\frac{-24}{125}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{24}{125}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{24}{125}$$
