kk you need to solve it out which i can help you in :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/5x-5+x-4=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first we got to simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so lets put the x's together: 3/5x+x and numbers:-5-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would make 1and3/5x-9=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now isolate the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to do that, add 9 to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1and3/5x-9=-1 +9 +9 so 1 3/5=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 1 3/5x=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no we divide each side with 1.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.6x=8 /1.6 /1.6 x=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now to check it replace x with 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/5(5)-5+(5)-4=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/5(5)-5+(5)-4=-1 3-5+5-4=-1 -2+5-4=-1 3-4=-1 -1=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hoped it helped Lopez, Sincerely the happy cow :D
