Solve x-25%x=15

$$x - 25 \% x = 15$$

Solve for x

$$x=20$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x-\frac{1}{4}x=15$$

Combine x and -\frac{1}{4}x to get \frac{3}{4}x.

$$\frac{3}{4}x=15$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{4}.

$$x=15\times \frac{4}{3}$$

Express 15\times \frac{4}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{15\times 4}{3}$$

Multiply 15 and 4 to get 60.

$$x=\frac{60}{3}$$

Divide 60 by 3 to get 20.

$$x=20$$
