Solve 4/5x+1/5=0

$$\frac { 4 } { 5 } x + \frac { 1 } { 5 } = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{4}=-0.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{5} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$\frac{4}{5}x=-\frac{1}{5}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{5}.

$$x=-\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{5}{4}$$

Multiply -\frac{1}{5} times \frac{5}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Cancel out 5 in both numerator and denominator.

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

Fraction \frac{-1}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{4} by extracting the negative sign.

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