Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!
I hope I have understood the problem well.
If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:
(x-1) / 5 = 2/3
From this equation you must clear the "x".
First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying
(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3
(X – 1) = (2/3)*5
X – 1 = 10/3
Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding
X = 10/3 + 1
Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,
X = 10/3 + 3/3
X = 13/3
I hope I've been helpful!

Your answer would be 1, or 72+25.
What is happening in this case is a negative number is being subtracted from a positive. This means you are taking away a negative. The two negatives cancel each other out, and then it becomes you are adding a positive.
Another way I like to think about this is the two minus symbols combine together to form a plus sign.
Hope this helped!
