Solve 5-left(3/4-1right)x=1

$$5- \left( \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } -1 \right) x=1$$

Solve for x

$$x=-16$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

$$5-\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{4}\right)x=1$$

Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$5-\frac{3-4}{4}x=1$$

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.

$$5-\left(-\frac{1}{4}x\right)=1$$

The opposite of -\frac{1}{4}x is \frac{1}{4}x.

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

Subtract 5 from both sides.

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

Subtract 5 from 1 to get -4.

$$\frac{1}{4}x=-4$$

Multiply both sides by 4, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{4}.

$$x=-4\times 4$$

Multiply -4 and 4 to get -16.

$$x=-16$$
