Solve x+1/5=11/25

$$\frac { x + 1 } { 5 } = \frac { 11 } { 25 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{6}{5} = 1\frac{1}{5} = 1.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$x+1=\frac{11}{25}\times 5$$

Express \frac{11}{25}\times 5 as a single fraction.

$$x+1=\frac{11\times 5}{25}$$

Multiply 11 and 5 to get 55.

$$x+1=\frac{55}{25}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{55}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x+1=\frac{11}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{11}{5}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.

$$x=\frac{11}{5}-\frac{5}{5}$$

Since \frac{11}{5} and \frac{5}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{11-5}{5}$$

Subtract 5 from 11 to get 6.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}$$
