Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply both sides by 2:

6x-10=4-x

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign:

6x-10+x=4

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign:

6x+x=4+10

Collect like terms:

7x=14

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

x=2

babymother [125]

Step-by-step explanation:

$= 1 \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{4} - ( - 3 \frac{3}{5} ) - ( - 2 \frac{1}{4} )$

$= 1 \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{4} + 3 \frac{3}{5} + 2 \frac{1}{4}$

$= (1 + 3 + 2) + ( \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{4} )$

$= 6 + ( \frac{4 + 15 + 12 + 5}{20} )$

$= 6 + \frac{36}{20}$

$= 1 + 6 + \frac{16}{20}$

$= 7 + \frac{4}{5}$

$= 7 \frac{4}{5}$
