Solve x=(3/5-4)/4

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

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{17}{20}=-0.85$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{20}{5}.

$$x=\frac{\frac{3}{5}-\frac{20}{5}}{4}$$

Since \frac{3}{5} and \frac{20}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{\frac{3-20}{5}}{4}$$

Subtract 20 from 3 to get -17.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{17}{5}}{4}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{17}{5}}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-17}{5\times 4}$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$x=\frac{-17}{20}$$

Fraction \frac{-17}{20} can be rewritten as -\frac{17}{20} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{17}{20}$$

Assign x

$$x≔-\frac{17}{20}$$
