Question

Solve the equation for the given variable. If your answer is a fraction, write it in a reduced, fractional form. Do NOT convert the answer to a decimal.

3(5x+4)=5(2x+2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we distribute

15x + 12 = 10x + 10

Subtract 10x from both sides

5x + 12 = 10

Subtract 12 from both sides

5x = -2

Divide both sides by 5x

x = -2/5
