Let the original number be ‘x’
Then half of that number= 1/2x or simply x/2
Similarly one fifth of that number = x/5
According to the question
x+x/2+x/5=51
Taking LCM
10x/10+2x/10+5x/10=51
Multiplying 10 throughout
10x+2x+5x=510
17x=510
x=510/17
Therefore x=30

-2/3 x -9/8 x -4/5 x -1
Lerok [7]

Answer: 0.6

Step-by-step explanation: First, you want so seperate the equations in parenthesis to make solving the equation easier.

(-2/3x-9/8x )-(4/5x)-(1)

So (-2/3x-9/8x) equals -11/24x

And  -11/24x-4/5x equals -151/120x

So -151/120x-1 ends up being 0.6.
