Answer 5

Do each one to both sides! Your first step is: \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+ \frac{ x }{ 8} - \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 6 }{ 7 } -\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\] Subtracting 1/5 from both sides. Then you simplify that so that you just have x/8 on the left, and then you multiply by 8 on both sides so that you just have x on the left.

Answer 9

1/5 + x/8 = 6/7

x/8 = 6/7 - 1/5
x/8 = 30/35 - 7/35
x/8 = 23/35

Cross multiply:
35x = 8*23
x = 8*23/35
x = 184/35
