Answer:

The very first thing we want to do in this equation is to isolate x on one side (preferably the left side).

3/x - 4 = 1/5

We get rid of any constants first, by performing the inverse property;

The inverse property of subtraction is addition, so we add 4 to both sides:

+4 +4

3/x = 4 1/5

3 is being divided by x, so the inverse operation of division is multiplication. So we multiply by 1/3 on both sides.

x1/3 x1/3

X = 1 4/10 which simplifies to 1 2/5.

tester [92]

Answer:

None of the above

Third choice

9 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 32 X

Therefore there is none that are the same.
