x=20/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.–5 B.5 C.7 D.–7 these are my only options though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to multiply everything by 5 and then you will get whole numbers, After you can move all the numbers to the right side, Then you can combine the two x values by adding them up, Then you can divide by the multiplier of x to get your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So four steps. and it is not 20/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't get it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well type out what you have now, 5/3*x-5+x-4 = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you are trying to get x all alone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the easiest thing to do is to move all the constants over to the other side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have 5/3x which is a constant divided by a constant times a vairable which comes out to be a variable, and x is a variable so you keep those two on the left side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you add 5 to both sides which cancels out the -5 And you add 4 to both sides which cancels out the -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it :p haha .. thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D yay!
