3ax-n/5=-4 solve for x

jasenka [17]

$3ax-\frac{n}{5}=-4\ \ \ |Add\ \frac{n}{5}\ to\ both\ sides\\\\
3ax=-4+\frac{n}{5}\\\\
3ax=-\frac{20}{5}+\frac{n}{5}\\\\
3ax=\frac{-20+n}{5}\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 3a\\\\
x=\frac{-20+n}{5}*\frac{1}{3a}\\\\
x=\frac{-20+n}{15a}\\\\Asnwer\ is\ x=\frac{-20+n}{15a}.$

Solve for x x=750+125.75x

olga2289 [7]

X=750+125.75x
subtract to variable (x) on one side
x-125.75x=750+125.75x-125.75x
-124.75x=750
divide -124.75 to get variable (x) by itself
-124.75x/-124.75=750/-124.75
x=-3000/499
or
x=-6 6/499
or
x=-6.01202
