Question

Solve the equation. 3x−4/5=−1/2 What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

3x -4/5= -1/2

3x= -1/2+4/5

finding the LCM

3x=-5+8/10

3x=3/10

x=3/10/3/1

x=3/10*1/3

x=3/30

x=1/10

Answer 2

X = 1/10

3x - 4/5 = -1/2

You have to multiply through by 10 to clear the fractions

So|

30x - 8 = -5 (You add 8 to both sides)

30x = 3 (You divide both sides by 30)

Then it will give you what is equal to x

X = 3/30 = 1/10
