Question

2/5x+2=-3/5x-8 x=

Answer 1

Is the problem (2/5)x + 2 = (-3/5)x - 8 ??

Answer 2

Or 2/(5x) + 2 = -3/(5x) - 8?

Answer 3

or 2/(5x + 2) = 3/(5x - 8) ??

Answer 4

So, you're looking for x?
2/5 x + 2 = -3/5 x - 8

You just simply transpose 2 to the right and -3/5x to the left side of the equation.
so you'll get:
2/5 x + 3/5x =-8 -2

Take note of the changing of signs. Whenever you transpose, you change the sign.

Simplify the equation and you'll get x = -10.
