Solve x+1/4=4/5

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{11}{20}=0.55$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Least common multiple of 5 and 4 is 20. Convert \frac{4}{5} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 20.

$$x=\frac{16}{20}-\frac{5}{20}$$

Since \frac{16}{20} and \frac{5}{20} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{16-5}{20}$$

Subtract 5 from 16 to get 11.

$$x=\frac{11}{20}$$
