Math Problem Statement

x/10-1=4

Solution

Let's solve the equation:

x101=4\frac{x}{10} - 1 = 4

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides

x10=4+1\frac{x}{10} = 4 + 1 x10=5\frac{x}{10} = 5

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 10

x=5×10x = 5 \times 10 x=50x = 50

So, the solution is: x=50x = 50

Would you like further details on the steps? Here are 5 related questions you can explore:

  1. How can I check if the solution x=50x = 50 is correct?
  2. What would happen if the equation was x10+1=4\frac{x}{10} + 1 = 4?
  3. How do I solve equations involving fractions?
  4. What is the inverse operation when solving equations like this?
  5. Can I solve equations with fractions without multiplying both sides?

Tip: When solving for variables in fractions, always try to eliminate the denominator by multiplying both sides by the denominator.
