Solve x=-5/4+5/4*2

$$x = - \frac { 5 } { 4 } + \frac { 5 } { 4 } \cdot 2$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express \frac{5}{4}\times 2 as a single fraction.

$$x=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{5\times 2}{4}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$x=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{10}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{5}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. Convert -\frac{5}{4} and \frac{5}{2} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$x=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{10}{4}$$

Since -\frac{5}{4} and \frac{10}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-5+10}{4}$$

Add -5 and 10 to get 5.

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

Assign x

$$x≔\frac{5}{4}$$
