We break all the bracket out :
-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4
2/5 = 0.4
-3/4 = -0.75
So, we have : -0.75 + 0.4 + 0.4 - 0.75
= (-0.75 - 0.75) + (0.4 + 0.4) = -1.5 + 0.8 = -0.7
if u earned $150 and had a rate of 3% if u add thise up u get $450 plus the 5 years you will have $950 i thonk that this is the right answer i dont really know
So, your problem is ((3x+2))/4) = ((8x-1)/5)?
If so, X= 14/17
9/25=
25*4=100 so,9*4=36
9/25=36%
3x+7=13
move +7 to the other side
sign changes from +7 to -7
3x+7-7= 13-7
3x= 6
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3= 6/3
x=2
Answer : x= 2
