Question

1/3x+1/4=-2(4/5x+2)

Answer 1

Fist you need to distribute
1/3x+1/4=-8/5x- 4
then you need to find the least common denominator
3x4x5=60
the least common denominator is 60
20/60x + 15/60= -96/60x - 240/60
add the 96/60x over to the other side
116/60x + 15/60= -240/60
now subtract the 15/60 to the other side
116/60x= -255/60
now simplify fractions
29/15x=-17/4
now divide by 29/15, to do this you must multiply it by the reciprocal
-17/4 x 15/29 =- 255/166
now simplify
you cannot simplify any further so
x=-255/166

Answer 2

X= -255/116
