Question

Directions:Solve this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

-3.21538461538

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Equation\;Given:}\; 5+5x=\frac{12x-\frac{12}{5}\cdot \:7}{5}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\;both\;sides\;by\;5}:$   $5\cdot \:5+5x\cdot \:5=\frac{12x-\frac{12}{5}\cdot \:7}{5}\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{Now\;we\;have\;}:$  $25+25x=12x-\frac{84}{5}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\;by\;sides\;by\;25}:$   $25+25x-25=12x-\frac{84}{5}-25$

$\mathrm{Thus\;we\;have}:$  $25x=12x-\frac{209}{5}$

$\mathrm{Subtracting\;12x\;from\;both\;sides}:$  $25x-12x=12x-\frac{209}{5}-12x$

$\mathrm{So\;then\;we\;have:}$ $13x=-\frac{209}{5}$

$\mathrm{Now\;divide\;both\;sides\;by\;13}:$  $\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{-\frac{209}{5}}{13}$

$\mathrm{Hence\;we\;have}:\;\;x=-\frac{209}{65}$

$\mathrm{Decimal\;form}:-3.21538461538$
