Question

4x/5-1/3=1

Answer 1

Thinking aloud here: What should we do to isolate x on the left hand side?
What do you think the first step should be?

Answer 2

\[\frac{4x}5 -\frac{1}3=1\]
\[\frac{4x}5=1+\frac{1}3\]
\[\frac{4x}5=\frac{4}3\]
do cross multiplication now
\[4x*3=4*5\]
\[12x=20\]
\[x=\frac{20}{12}\]
\[x=\frac{10}5\]
