Question

1/5(3x - 15)=-4(3/5x - 3)

Answer 1

X would equal 5 lolol

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5(3x - 15) = -4(3/5x - 3)

Distribute the 1/5 in.

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

Distribute the -4 in.

3x/5 - 3 = -12x/5 + 12

Multiply both sides by 5.

3x - 15 = -12x + 60

Add 15 to both sides.

3x = -12x + 75

Add 12x to both sides.

15x = 75

Divide both sides by 15 to get

x = 5

Proof:

1/5(3x - 15) = -4(3/5x - 3)

1/5(3(5)-15) = -4(3/5(5) - 3)

1/5(15 - 15) = -4(3 - 3)

1/5(0) = -4(0)

0 = 0
