Solve 25(x+40%)=11

$$25(x+40 \% )=11$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{25}=0.04$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 25.

$$x+\frac{40}{100}=\frac{11}{25}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{40}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$x+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{11}{25}$$

Subtract \frac{2}{5} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{11}{25}-\frac{2}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 25 and 5 is 25. Convert \frac{11}{25} and \frac{2}{5} to fractions with denominator 25.

$$x=\frac{11}{25}-\frac{10}{25}$$

Since \frac{11}{25} and \frac{10}{25} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{11-10}{25}$$

Subtract 10 from 11 to get 1.

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