Hey!

First, let's write the problem.
\frac{x}{x}+2=\frac{4}{5}
Since the least common multiple is 5x, we are going to multiply by that.
\frac{x}{x}\cdot \:5x+2\cdot \:5x=\frac{4}{5}\cdot \:5x
5x+10x=4x
15x=4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
15x-4x=4x-4x
11x=0
Divide both sides by 11.
\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{0}{11}

Our final answer would be,
x=0

This tells us that this problem has no solution.

_________

Your problem may have been written like this, 
\frac{x}{\left(x+2\right)}=\frac{4}{5}
If so, there's a totally different solution, which is why important to include parenthesis. Let's simplify it.
Cross multiply. It would look something like this,
x\cdot \:5=\left(x+2\right)\cdot \:4
Apply the distributive property.
x\cdot \:5=4x+8
Subtract 4x from both sides.
x\cdot \:5-4x=4x+8-4x
This tells us that our final answer would be,
x=8

15x-(-3x-10)=38x-5(4x-2)
son4ous [18]
15x+3x+10 = 38x-20x+10
18x+10 = 18x+10
18x-18x = 10-10
0 = 0
The equation is true.

How to write an equation for functions
Brums [2.3K]

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.
