There are many ways you can start off by solving an equation. In this case, the first operation used in solving this equation would be subtraction. You would have to subtract 5 from each side.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Cross multiplying both sides,
Taking like terms together,
So, the value of x is equal to 5.
The two fractions that added together give you a sum of -7/24 are 1/24+-8/24= -7/24
For example: if the word problem were simply "4 divided by 2", the fraction would be a 4 with a line underneath and the 2 underneath that.
