Question

find the value of x. 1/5- x = 3

Answer 1

First what you do is move everything to one side, so move that 1/5 over

Answer 2

-x=3 *5/1 is that correct?

Answer 3

Is the equation:
\[\frac{1}{5}-x=3\]
OR
\[\frac{1}{5}x=3\]

Answer 4

and you multiply both sides by 5/1 to get the x alone right?

Answer 5

It depends on which which equation it is

Answer 6

its is the first one you posted

Answer 7

Alright. Since it's +/- we can't multiply.
We have to do the opposite operation

Answer 8

and by that you mean?

Answer 9

Mean if the numer is positive we subtract, of it's negative we add it.
