Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x
/5 + 3 = x/10 - 1
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x
/5 + 3 = x/10 - 1
2/5x + 3 = 1/10x - 1
Step 2: Subtract 1/10x from both sides.
2/5x + 3 - 1/10x = 1/10x - 1 - 1/10x
3/10x + 3 = -1
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
3
/10x + 3 - 3 = -1 - 3
3/10x = -4
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 10/3.
(10/3) * (3/10x) = (10/3) * (-4)
x = -40/3
-4 is the correct answer. -24= -4/6
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, add 9 to both sides
3/4x - 9 (+9) = 27 (+9)
3/4x = 36
Next, multiply 4/3 to both sides
(4/3)(3/4)x = 36(4/3)
x = 36(4/3)
Simplify.
x = 12(4)
x = 48
48 is your answer for x.
