Question

1/5x + 4 =1/3x-8 Can you show your work too? That would be great

Answer 1

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5x+4=1/3x-8

add 8 to both sides and subtract 1/5x from both sides

4+8=1/3x-1/5x

12=5/15x-3/15x

12=2/15x

divide both sides by 2/15

12÷2/15=x

when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply

12*15/2=x

90=x

CHECK:

1/5(90)+4=1/3(90)-8

18+4=30-8

22=22
