Question

If y = 4x-2 all over -5x then what is the value of x when y = -1 over 5??

Answer 1

So just plug in -1/5 for y in your original problem

Answer 2

y =(4x-2)/-5x
-1/5=4x-2
1.8=4x
.45=x

Answer 3

thx for explaining it to me.. so what is the final answer in fraction form??

Answer 4

i disagree
x = 2/3
you forgot about the -5x

Answer 5

-1/5 = (4x-2)/-5x
multiply by -5x on both sides
x = 4x-2
-3x = -2
x=2/3
