Solve 25/4x-2x+4=0

$$\frac { 25 } { 4 } x - 2 x + 4 = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{16}{17}\approx -0.941176471$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine \frac{25}{4}x and -2x to get \frac{17}{4}x.

$$\frac{17}{4}x+4=0$$

Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$\frac{17}{4}x=-4$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{17}, the reciprocal of \frac{17}{4}.

$$x=-4\times \frac{4}{17}$$

Express -4\times \frac{4}{17} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-4\times 4}{17}$$

Multiply -4 and 4 to get -16.

$$x=\frac{-16}{17}$$

Fraction \frac{-16}{17} can be rewritten as -\frac{16}{17} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{16}{17}$$
