Question

Solve for x.

-3x+2/5 = 7/1

Answer 1

we have
\[-3x+\frac 25=7\]@Sunshine447 multiply whole equation by 5, what would you get?

Answer 2

Similarly, you may also subtract \(2 \over 5\) from both sides. :)

Answer 3

\[-3x + 2/5 = 7 ................ \times 5\]
\[-15x + 2 = 35\] ........... Take 2 to the other side
\[-15x = 33\]
\[X = -33/15\]
