what's your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5-3x/5=0\] \[1-3x/5=0\] \[-3x/5=-1\] \[-3x=-5\] \[x=-5/3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im asuming your solving for x, here are the steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which or difference is equivalent to thefollowing expression? 5-3x/5 1 + 3/5 1 + 3x/5 1-3x/5 25-15x @jim_thompson5910 @BukLoon sorry about not putting the full question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you were just simplfying it down. well 5-3x/5 is also 1-3x/5 since 5/5 would equal 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

assuming you have \[\large \frac{5-3x}{5}\], then \[\large \frac{5-3x}{5}\] \[\large \frac{5}{5}-\frac{3x}{5}\] \[\large 1-\frac{3x}{5}\]
