I dont know its just what it says

Answer 3

Hmm... Interesting...
\[
\begin{align*}
3\left(x+\frac{2}{5}\right)&=x-3 \\
3x+\frac{6}{5}&=x-3 \\
3x-x&=-3-\frac{6}{5} \\
2x&=-\frac{15}{5}-\frac{6}{5} \\
2x&=-\frac{21}{5} \\
x&=-\frac{21}{10}
\end{align*}

Answer 5

Not a clue on what does x-3/1 means? Both \(\frac{x-3}{1} \text{ and } x-\frac{3}{1}\) means the same thing...
