Question

41 = 2/5x - 7 (X=?)

Answer 1

Is this the expression?\[\frac{2}{5x} - 7 = 41\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Or is it ?\[\frac{2}{5x-7}=41\]

Answer 4

first one

Answer 5

Add 7 to both sides of the equation\[\frac{2}{5x}\cancel{-7}(\cancel{+7})=41(+7)\] and then multiply each side by 5x.

Answer 6

5 times 2 or 5 times 41 and 7

Answer 7

\[(/\cancel{5x})\frac{2}{/\cancel{5x}}=(5x)48\]

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

I made this more complicated than it needed to be..... to solve for x you want to get just x on one side of the equation so you can divide both sides by (5)(48)\[\frac{2}{(5)(48)}=x\frac{\cancel{(5)(48)}}{\cancel{(5)(48)}}\]

Answer 10

ok
