What are the steps to solve for: 1/5(x+5)=1/4(x-3)+1

andrew11 [14]

Step 1. Simplify $\frac{1}{5} (x+5)$ to $\frac{x+5}{5}$

$\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1$

Step 2. Simplify $\frac{x+5}{5}$ to $1+ \frac{x}{5}$

$1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1$

Step 3. Simplify $\frac{1}{4} (x-3)$ to $\frac{x-3}{4}$

$1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1$

Step 4. Cancel $1$ on both sides

$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}$

Step 5. Multiply both sides by $20$ (the LCM of $5,4$ )

$4x=5(x-3)$

Step 6. Expand

$4x=5x-15$

Step 7. Subtract $5x$ from both sides

$4x-5x=-15$

Step 8. Simplify $4x-5x$ to $-x$

$-x=-15$

Step 9. Multiply both sides by $-1$

$x=15$

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

Which property is used in the problem below?<br><br> 2(x+4)=2x+8

frutty [35]

Answer:

You would use the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4) = 2x+8

2x+8x = 2x+8

10x = 2x+8

10x - 2x = 2x-2x+8

8x = 8

8x/8 = 8/8

x = 1

Mother wants to divide $36 between her daughters Ava and Charlotte in the ratio of their ages. If Ava is 15 years old and Charlo

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Ava's share = $20

Charlotte's share = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 12x = 36 : multiply each girl's age by same amount and adding gives $36

27x = 36 : add x terms

x = 36 / 27 : divide both sides of equation by 27

x = 4 / 3

Ava's share = 15x = 15 * 4/3 = 20

Charlotte's share = 12x = 12 * 4/3 = 16
