Question

What is the solution to the rational equation x/5 + 2/5 = 7?

Choices:

x = 31

x = 33

x = 37

x = 39

Answer 1

Medals will be given.

Answer 2

-2/5 NOT +

Answer 3

You can reduce the problem to (x+2)/5

Now you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the 5 in the denominator. That will give you x + 2 = 35.

Now subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable 'x'. And that will give you x = 33.

Answer 4

That's the answer with it being -2/5 NOT +?

Answer 5

After reading your edit, the answer is 37, not 33. You add the 2 instead of subtract.
