Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
The first thing we want to do is find the least common denominator which would be 20
so we multiply the denominator and numerator of the fractions on the left side by 4
3x4=12
5x4=20 -12/20x
1x4=4
5x4=20 so now we would have
once again we want to isolate the variable using inverse operations
to get rid of the 4/20 we subtract each side by 4/20
now we have
now we want to get rid of the -12/20
to do so we divide each side by -12/20 (or -.6 as a decimal to make it easier)
REMEMBER flip the equality sign
we're left with
