5/4=-4c+1/4

Solve for c

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

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
