Answer 1

The answer question is x=10/9

Answer 2

Let's see.

4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x

First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15

Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15

With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x

20 = 18x

10 = 9x

X= 10/9
