Question

You will write a 5-paragraph essay explaining how you would solve the following equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{3}(2x+3)+\frac{3}{4}(\frac{x}{5}-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Given

$\frac{14}{3}x+7+\frac{3}{20}x-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Distributive Property

$\frac{280}{60}x+7+\frac{9}{60}x-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Find LCD of x-terms

$\frac{289}{60}x+7-\frac{45}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$ <-- Combine Like Terms

$\frac{289}{60}x+7=\frac{56}{8}$ <-- Add 45/8 to both sides

$\frac{289}{60}x+7}=7$ <-- Simplify Right Side

$\frac{289}{60}x=0$ <-- Subtract 7 on both sides

$x=0$ <-- Divide both sides by 289/60
