Question

5/4=−4c+1/4​

Solve for c

Answer 1

This is what I get.

5/4= 1.25
1/4= .25

So now
1.25=4c+.25
-.25. -.25
1 =-4c
Divide 4
1/4= -4c/4
-1/4=c or -.25

Answer 2

Let's start by converting the fractions to decimals. That would make it easier to work with.

1.25 = -4c + 0.25

Now let's solve.

1.25 = -4c + 0.25
1.25 - 0.25 = -4c + 0.25 - 0.25
1 = -4c
1/-4 = -4c/-4
-0.25 = c

You can convert this back to a fraction if you want.

-1/4 = c
