Question

Solve for x 1/4(4x-1)=-1/7-5/7

Answer 1

`x=-(17)/(28)`

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)(4x-1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)`

`x-(1)/(4)=-(6)/(7)`

`x = -(6)/(7) + (1)/(4)`

`x = -(17)/(28)`

plug
`x` in the equation to make sure of your answer:

`(1)/(4)(4x-1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)\\(1)/(4)(4(-(17)/(28)) -1)=-(1)/(7)-(5)/(7)\\-(17)/(28) -(1)/(4)=-(6)/(7)\\-(6)/(7)=-(6)/(7)`
