Answer: -4.5, but only if the phrase "five twice the sum . . ." means 5*2*(the sum of . . .). "five twice" is confusing, so please check the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
5*2*(X + 3) = 3*(2X - 1)
10X + 15 = 6X -3
4X = -18
X = -18/4
X = - 4.5
-1 17/20 and -1 8/10 can be compared easily if we give them common denominators. If we multiply the second fraction by 2, both fractions will have a denominator of 20.
8 * 2 = 16
10 * 2 = 20
New fraction: 16/20
-1 17/20 vs. - 1 16/20
-1 16/20 (-1 8/10) is greater. (For negative numbers, you can tell which one is greater by determining which one is closest to zero.)
