Question

-473/144=-5/9x-3 7/8help

Answer 1

Hi,

Work:

$- \frac{473}{144} = - \frac{5}{9}x - 3 \frac{7}{8} \\ - \frac{473}{144} = - \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{21}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 144.

$- 473 - 80x - 378$

Move X to left side and change its side.

$80x = - 378 + 473$

Calculate the sum

$80x = 95$

Divide both sides by 80.

$x = \frac{19}{16}$
