Question

can anybody tell me how in the word to do this problem in the comments? .-.

Answer 1

Yes, first find the LCM for 3/5 and 1/4. What is the the LCM of 3/5 and 1/4 ?

Answer 2

3/20 and 1/20?

Answer 3

20 is correct. Now times each side by 20 like so

\( 20(-\frac{3}{5}x) = 20(\frac{1}{4})\)
Can you finish that?

Answer 4

so it'll be -60/100 20/80?

Answer 5

\( 20(-\frac{3}{5}x) = 20(\frac{1}{4})\)
-12x = 5
-12x/-12 = 5/-12
\( x = -\frac{5}{12}\)

Answer 6

so the answer would be -5/12 ?

Answer 7

Yes
