Solve 5x-5*25%=8/5

$$5 x - 5 \times 25 \% = \frac { 8 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{57}{100}=0.57$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$5x-5\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{8}{5}$$

Multiply 5 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{5}{4}.

$$5x-\frac{5}{4}=\frac{8}{5}$$

Add \frac{5}{4} to both sides.

$$5x=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{5}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 4 is 20. Convert \frac{8}{5} and \frac{5}{4} to fractions with denominator 20.

$$5x=\frac{32}{20}+\frac{25}{20}$$

Since \frac{32}{20} and \frac{25}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$5x=\frac{32+25}{20}$$

Add 32 and 25 to get 57.

$$5x=\frac{57}{20}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{\frac{57}{20}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{57}{20}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{57}{20\times 5}$$

Multiply 20 and 5 to get 100.

$$x=\frac{57}{100}$$
