Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{5}(2x-15)+\frac{3}{5}x=4\frac{1}{4}\]
\[\frac{1}{5}(2x-15)+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{17}{4}\]

Answer 2

i'll post the other steps later...i have to go help someone else real quick and this is taking forever lol

Answer 3

\[(\frac{4}{4})\frac{1}{5}(2x-15)+(\frac{4}{4})\frac{3}{5}x=(\frac{5}{5})(\frac{17}{4})\]
\[\frac{4}{20}(2x-15)+\frac{12}{20}x=\frac{85}{20}\]

Answer 4

How about yo multiply 20 on both sides to get rid of the denominator @StudyGurl14

Answer 5

\[\frac{8}{20}-\frac{60}{20}+\frac{12}{20}x=\frac{85}{20}\]

Answer 6

THANK YOU @TheSmartOne !

Answer 7

For the life of me, my brain could not figure out how to do that...why i have no clue. but yea...

Answer 8

\[20 \times\frac{1}{5}(2x-15)+20 \times \frac{3}{5}x=20 \times \frac{17}{4}\]

Answer 9

No prob. :)

Answer 10

\[8-60+12x=85\]

Answer 11

(i multiplied by 20 there)

Answer 12

4(2x-15)+12x=5x17
8x-60+12x=85

Answer 13

20x=145
x=?

Answer 14

oops i forgot to add the x to the 8

Answer 15

\[8x-60+12x=85\]

Answer 16

Ya I noticed..
