Hi there!
x=8
<u><em>1.Subtract the answer with the 3 / subtract the terms:</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>2.Divide the two terms:</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
<u><em /></u>
Therefore, x=8

5x + 4 = 7x
Subtract 4 from both sides.
5x = 7x - 4
Subtract 7x from both sides.
5x - 7x = -4
Simplify.
-2x = -4
Divide both sides by -2.
x = 4/2
x = 2
~Hope I helped!~
To reduce<span> a </span>fraction to lowest terms<span> (also called its simplest form), divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. For example, 2/3 is in </span>lowest<span> form, but 4/6 is not in </span>lowest<span> form (the GCD of 4 and 6 is 2) and 4/6 can be expressed as 2/3.
38/80= 19/40</span>
6/9
8/12
10/15
12/18
