2/5 (x-2)=4x for x
ready?
you there I am ready to help
let us work on this one step at a time 2/5 (x-2)=4x for x first we must take follow rules of opperations here. So, therefore we must disb 2/5(x-5) like this 2/5x -(-1/5) =4x now let us get like terms together like this so we have 2/5x and 4x so we have a choice here, we can either go with 4x-2/5x because the 2/5x crosses the equal the -2/5x so for this problem I am going to do it like this 2/5x-4x=-1/5 now we must solve the faction so 2/5-1/4 the one is a place holder is all and helps to solve this.. recall when subtracting a faction we must find lowest LCD in the is 20. so we 2/5-1/4 we the bottom equal 20 so it looks like this 2/20-1/20 because we took 4x2 = 20 we must take 2x4 which is eight, - that from 5 x4 but we have 1on top so 5x 1gives us 5. so here is what we have now 8/20-5/20= 3/4x..
now you take from there get x alone
