Solve 4x- (x-5)/4 =2

Evaluate

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

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(4 x - \frac{x - 5}{4}) \times 4 = 2 \times 4

Simplify the equation

More Steps

15 x + 5 = 2 \times 4

Simplify the equation

15 x + 5 = 8

Move the constant to the right side

15 x = 8 - 5

Subtract the numbers

15 x = 3

Divide both sides

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

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{3}{15}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{5}

Alternative Form

x = 0.2
