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

Ik theanswer is 2,1 how do i sole it tho
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 5

6x + 3y = 15

Substitute the first equation into the second

6x + 3(3x - 5) = 15

6x + 9x - 15 = 15

15x = 30

x = 2

Then use the answer in the first equation and solve

y = 3(2) - 5

y = 6 - 5

y = 1

Could some one help me please / whats the answer for 4+3p= 19
BARSIC [14]

To find p, you would first subtract the 4 from either side of the equation. You would then have 3p+15. Then you would divide by 3 on  both sides to get 9=5.

Therefore, p=5
