If you are solving for x:


1.) Assign the fractions common denominators.

2.) Subtract the numerators.

3.) Multiply both sides of the equal sign by 20.

4.) Divide both sides of the equal sign by 11.



(4)/(5) x - (1)/(4) x = 11\\\\(16)/(20) x - (5)/(20) x = 11\\\\(11)/(20)x = 11\\\\11x = 220\\x = 20
