Solve a=1-x/4

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

Solve for x

$$x=1-4a$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 1-x by 4 to get \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}x.

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

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

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

Subtract \frac{1}{4} from both sides.

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

Multiply both sides by -4.

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

Dividing by -\frac{1}{4} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{4}.

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

Divide a-\frac{1}{4} by -\frac{1}{4} by multiplying a-\frac{1}{4} by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{4}.

$$x=1-4a$$

Solve for a

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

Solution Steps

Divide each term of 1-x by 4 to get \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}x.

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