Solve x=5/4(3-0.6(6.25))

$$x = 5 / 4 ( 3 - 0.6 ( 6.25 ) )$$

Solve for x

$$x=-0.9375$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0.6 and 6.25 to get 3.75.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}\left(3-3.75\right)$$

Subtract 3.75 from 3 to get -0.75.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}\left(-0.75\right)$$

Convert decimal number -0.75 to fraction -\frac{75}{100}. Reduce the fraction -\frac{75}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

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

Multiply \frac{5}{4} times -\frac{3}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{5\left(-3\right)}{4\times 4}.

$$x=\frac{-15}{16}$$

Fraction \frac{-15}{16} can be rewritten as -\frac{15}{16} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{15}{16}$$

Assign x

$$x≔-0.9375$$
