Answer 4

ok if its 3/5 times x
then one way to proceed is to multiply each term by lcd of 5,16 and 9

Answer 5

Answer 6

\[\large \frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{16}=\frac{4}{9}\]



\[\large 720\left(\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{16}\right)=720\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)\]



\[\large 432x-45=320\]



\[\large 432x=320+45\]



\[\large 432x=365\]



\[\large x=\frac{365}{432}\]
