Question

3 + 1/5x = -1

Answer 1

\[3 + \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }x = - 1\]
Get x by itself.
To do so you first subtract the 3 from both sides.
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }x = -4\]
Then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5.
\[\frac{ \cancel 5 }{ 1 } \times \frac{ 1 }{ \cancel 5 } x = -4 \times \frac{ 5 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 2

\[x = -4 \times 5\]
