Answer:
x equals five thirteenths
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information provided by the question, we obtained the following:
three fourths times X = 3/4 x X
five fourths = 5/4
four times X = 4X
Combining these statements as supported from the question, we obtained:
3/4 x X + 5/4 = 4X
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction
3x + 5 = 16x
Collect like terms
5 = 16x — 3x
5 = 13x
Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 13
x = 5/13
x equals five thirteenths
