Question

Solve this equation: 3x –1/5- 2/9x= 124/5

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - $\frac{1}{5}$ - $\frac{2}{9}$ x = $\frac{124}{5}$ ( add $\frac{1}{5}$ to both sides

3x - $\frac{2}{9}$ x = $\frac{124}{5}$ + $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{125}{5}$ = 25 ← combine x- terms on left side

$\frac{25}{9}$ x = 25 ( multiply both sides by 9 )

25x = 225 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 9
