Start by putting into improper fractions.
- 1 2/3 = - 5/3
- 2 1/5 = - 11/5
Now stack the fractions like this.

Here's the key part (or one of them). Cancel the minus signs. Since there are 2 of them they become a plus.

Now invert the 11/5. That means turn it upside down. Put the 5 in the numerator and 11 in the denominator. Multiply by it by the top fraction.

When you do this, you just multiply top by top and bottom by bottom
Answer: x=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
6.2x+8=3(1.4x−4)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6.2x+8=3(1.4x−4)
6.2x+8=(3)(1.4x)+(3)(−4)(Distribute)
6.2x+8=4.2x+−12
6.2x+8=4.2x−12
Step 2: Subtract 4.2x from both sides.
6.2x+8−4.2x=4.2x−12−4.2x
2x+8=−12
Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.
2x+8−8=−12−8
2x=−20
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.
2x2=−202
Have you learnt about prime numbers yet? 5 is a prime number so you can't break it up into smaller numbers other than obviously 5*1. 39 is not a prime number. At first glance you should be able to tell that its a multiple of 3 right?
39=3*13
Now you have smaller numbers.
3*13*5=13*15.
I guess that's what the answer is.
2/3 (3x + 9) = -2(2x + 6)
Step by step
2/3 * 3x and 2/3 * 9 = 2x and 6
which is 2x + 6 (since 6 is a positive put a plus 6 [ + 6 ] )
-2 * 2x and -2 * 6 = -4x and -12
which is -4x - 12 (since 12 is negative put a minus 12 [ - 12 ])
We now have 2x + 6 = -4x - 12
now add 4x on both sides
2x + 6 + 4x = −4x − 12 + 4x
6x + 6 = −12
now Subtract 6 from both sides.
6x + 6 − 6 = −12−6
6x=−18
finally Divide both sides by 6.
6x/6 = -18/6
x = -3
The answer is x=−3
