Solve 9=4+x+144/25

$$9=4+x+ \frac{ 144 }{ 25 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{19}{25}=-0.76$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{100}{25}.

$$9=\frac{100}{25}+x+\frac{144}{25}$$

Since \frac{100}{25} and \frac{144}{25} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$9=\frac{100+144}{25}+x$$

Add 100 and 144 to get 244.

$$9=\frac{244}{25}+x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{244}{25}+x=9$$

Subtract \frac{244}{25} from both sides.

$$x=9-\frac{244}{25}$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{225}{25}.

$$x=\frac{225}{25}-\frac{244}{25}$$

Since \frac{225}{25} and \frac{244}{25} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{225-244}{25}$$

Subtract 244 from 225 to get -19.

$$x=-\frac{19}{25}$$
