OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply the whole equation by 1 --- 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it should look easier to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ya XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

big fail....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha, thanks (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I think the equation is : \[x-\frac{8}{5}=\frac{2}{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it @Skittles34?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
