So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
Simplified answer is: 13x - 15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that is parallel to the line we are trying to find is
We can recall that when two lines are parallel it means that they have the same slope. Therefore the slope of the line we are trying to find is also -4. We now know that:
Therefore the equation of the line is:
