Question

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 25/4(5x-4/5)+29

Answer 1

Notice* No options are provided, so I will solve the expression.

Answer:

$\frac{125x+96}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify $\frac{4}{5}$

Step 2: Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

5x = 5x/1 = 5x * 5/5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

dding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

5x • 5 - (4)     25x - 4

--------------    =    ---------

5                        5  

Step 3: Simplify 25/4

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

29 = 29/1 = 29 * 4/4

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

5 • (25x-4) + 29 • 4     125x + 96

---------------------------  =     -----------

4                                             4    

Final result :

 125x + 96

 —————————

     4
