Solve -6x+10*-2/16-4=0

$$-6x+10 \times - \frac{ 2 }{ 16 } -4=0$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{7}{8}=-0.875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{16} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-6x+10\left(-\frac{1}{8}\right)-4=0$$

Express 10\left(-\frac{1}{8}\right) as a single fraction.

$$-6x+\frac{10\left(-1\right)}{8}-4=0$$

Multiply 10 and -1 to get -10.

$$-6x+\frac{-10}{8}-4=0$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-6x-\frac{5}{4}-4=0$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{16}{4}.

$$-6x-\frac{5}{4}-\frac{16}{4}=0$$

Since -\frac{5}{4} and \frac{16}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-6x+\frac{-5-16}{4}=0$$

Subtract 16 from -5 to get -21.

$$-6x-\frac{21}{4}=0$$

Add \frac{21}{4} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-6x=\frac{21}{4}$$

Divide both sides by -6.

$$x=\frac{\frac{21}{4}}{-6}$$

Express \frac{\frac{21}{4}}{-6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{21}{4\left(-6\right)}$$

Multiply 4 and -6 to get -24.

$$x=\frac{21}{-24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{-24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=-\frac{7}{8}$$
