Question

NEED HELP ASAP solve for x : 3/5 = x-1/8 a.5 b.29/5 c.23/5 d.19/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \frac{29}{5} }}}}}$

Option B is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{x - 1}{8} }$

Apply cross product property

⇒$\sf{ 5(x - 1) = 3 \times 8}$

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{5x - 5 = 3 \times 8}$

Multiply the numbers

⇒$\sf{5x - 5 = 24}$

Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{5x = 24 + 5}$

Add the numbers

⇒$\sf{5x = 29}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

⇒$\sf{ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{29}{5} }$

⇒$\sf{x = \frac{29}{5} }$

Hope I helped!
