Solve b/4-5=

$$\frac { b } { 4 } - 5 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{b}{4}-5$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 5 times \frac{4}{4}.

$$\frac{b}{4}-\frac{5\times 4}{4}$$

Since \frac{b}{4} and \frac{5\times 4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{b-5\times 4}{4}$$

Do the multiplications in b-5\times 4.

$$\frac{b-20}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{b-20}{4}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{4}.

$$\frac{b-20}{4}$$
