x * 4 = 25

Divided both sides by 4

x* 4 / 4 = 25/4

x = 6.25

Answer:

x = 1/10

Explanation:

Using the information from the comments, we have

4x = 2/5

To solve this, we divide both sides by 4:

4x ÷ 4 = 2/5 ÷ 4

x = 2/5 ÷ 4/1

To divide fractions, we flip the second one and multiply:

x = 2/5 × 1/4 = 2/20 = 1/10
