Solve the equation

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please multiply both sides by 20

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Would it be 80/100x-20/80x+280=180/200x

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, please be careful, you shoul get this: \[20*\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }x-20*\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x+20*14=20*\frac{ 9 }{ 10 }x\] please simplify

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm not sure how to simplify it because I still get the same numbers when I multiply each by the 20

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that: 20*(4/5)=16, so do the same

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what is 20*(1/4)=...?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

5

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I have a problem doing the bigger numbers for some reason

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

20*14=280

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and 20*(9/10)=18
