Solve -2x=-10/4=

$$- 2 x = - \frac { 10 } { 4 } =$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-2x=-\frac{5}{2}$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{5}{2}}{-2}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{5}{2}}{-2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-5}{2\left(-2\right)}$$

Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.

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

Fraction \frac{-5}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{5}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

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