Question

$$\frac{ 15 }{ 4 } x+4=5$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{4}{15}\approx 0.266666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$\frac{15}{4}x=5-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $5$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{15}{4}x=1$$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{15}$, the reciprocal of $\frac{15}{4}$.

$$x=1\times \frac{4}{15}$$

Multiply $1$ and $\frac{4}{15}$ to get $\frac{4}{15}$.

$$x=\frac{4}{15}$$
