Question

-(7/5u) -(3/5) = 7u -(1/2)
Simplified as much as possible.
I think the answer is x = 85

Answer 1

is the \(u\) in the denominator?

Answer 2

It's really weird to write...let me use the equations this program offers and rewrite it

Answer 3

\[-\frac{ 7 }{ 5 } u -\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } = 7u - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 4

mutiply by 10 to clear the annoying fractions and start with
\[-14x-6=70x-5\]

Answer 5

-20x = 65x?

Answer 6

and then simplify that?

Answer 7

you lost me

Answer 8

\[-14x-6=70x-5\]
a) add \(14x\) to both sides
b) add 5 to both sides
c) divide both sides by \(86\)

Answer 9

oh duh! I forgot to get the x by itself...rookie mistake

Answer 10

how did you get the 86? wouldn't it be 89?

Answer 11

lol it would be neither
\(70+14=84\)!!

Answer 12

so x-1 = 84x?

Answer 13

I'm a bit stuck
