Question

What is the sum (2/5x + 5/8) + (1/5x - 1/4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8} + \frac{3x}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{5}{8}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{4}\right)$ =

$\frac{2}{5}x+ \frac{1}{5}x+ \frac{5}{8}- \frac{1}{4}$ (Group Like Trems) =

$\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}$ =

$\frac{3}{8}+ \frac{3x}{5}$
