1%2F25+=+5x+%2B+4...first get a rid of fraction....both sides multiply by 25%7D%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B%281%2F25%2925+=+25%2A5x+%2B+25%2A4

%281%2Fcross%2825%29%29cross%2825%29+=+125x+%2B+100
1+=+125x+%2B+100
1+-100=+125x
-99=+125x
-99%2F125=x
-0.792=x

check:

1%2F25+=+5x+%2B+4

1%2F25+=+5%28-0.792%29+%2B+4
0.04=+-3.96+%2B+4
0.04=+0.04
