Answer:-16

Step-by-step explanation: is the purpose to solve for x?

6-1/4x=10

First thing we need to do is to get the x part on its own

We can do this by taking 6 from both sides

6-6-1/4x=10-6

-1/4x=4

To get x on its own we need to divide both sides by -1/4 or -0.25

(-1/4x)/-1/4=4/(-1/4)= -16

or you 4 divided by (-0.25)=-16

Answer:

x = -16

Explanation:

6-1/4x=10

6-x/4=10 ==> solve for x

6 - x/4 + x/4 = 10 + x/4

6 = 10 + x/4 =

(6 = 10 + x/4)*4 = ==> multiply the equation by 4 to remove fractions

24 = 40 + x

24 - 40 = 40 - 40 + x ==> subtract 40 on both sides to isolate x

x = -16 ==> simplify
