Question

solve for c.
\\(\frac{5}{4} = -4c + \frac{1}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $\frac{1}{4}$ from both sides

$\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = -4c + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4}$
Simplify both sides: $\frac{4}{4} = -4c$ which is $1 = -4c$

Step2: Divide both sides by -4

$\frac{1}{-4} = \frac{-4c}{-4}$
Simplify: $c = -\frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{4}$
