3/5x + 5 = 4/5

3/5x + 5 (-5) = 4/5 (-5)

3/5x = -4 1/5

3/5x/(5/3) = -4 1/5(/)(5/3)

x = (- 21/5)/ (5/3)
x = -21/5 x (3/5) (flip the signs by flipping the second fraction and the divide to a multiply)

x = -21/5 x 3/5
x = -63/25 or x = - 2.52

hope this helps

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Abdul's average speed in heavy traffic = 30 mph

Time Spent in heavy traffic = 1 hour

Distance covered in heavy traffic =Speed in heavy traffic X Time Spent in Heavy Traffic

=30 X 1 =30 miles

Abdul's Average speed in light traffic= 60 mph

Time Spent in light traffic = 2 hours

Distance covered in light traffic =Speed in light traffic X Time Spent in light Traffic = 60 X 2 =120 miles

Total Distance covered by Abdul = Distance covered in heavy traffic + Distance covered in light traffic

=30 + 120

=150 miles
