Answer 2

Answer:  The required value of x is given by

$x=-7.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following equation for the value of x:

$\dfrac{3}{5}x+5=\dfrac{4}{5}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

In order to solve the above equation, we need to take 5 to the right-hand side of the equation and then solve for x.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows:

$\dfrac{3}{5}x+5=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}x=\dfrac{4}{5}-5\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}x=\dfrac{4-25}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}x=-\dfrac{21}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{21\times 5}{5\times 3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{21}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=-7.$

Thus, the required value of x is given by

$x=-7.$
