Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer: x = 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-3a + 8 = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20
-3a = -20 + 2z
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Simplifying
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
