Question

Help please
1/4x - 5 = 10 - x

Answer 1

1/4x - 5 = 10 -x

Add 5 to both sides:

1/4x = 15 -x

Add x to both sides:

1 1/4x = 15

Divide both sides by 1 1/4:

x = 12

Answer 2

(1/4)x - 5 = 10 - x

x/4 - 5 = 10 - x

(x/4)(4) - 5(4) = 10(4) - 4x

x - 20 = 40 - 4x

x + 4x = 40 + 20

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12
