The point of (x, -2/5) lies on the graph of \[y=\frac{ 4-2x }{ 5 }\]. The value of "x" is: -1 1 3
HI!!
translate this question as "solve for \(x\) : \[-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-2x}{5}\]
???
you have to solve the equation i wrote for \(x\) that will be the solution to your question
How?
if the point \((x,-\frac{2}{5})\) is on the graph, that means \(y=-\frac{2}{5}\) so you have to figure out the \(x\) by solving the equation
or do you mean "how do i solve the equation?"
Yes, that. lol
the truth is you don't really have to, you could plug in your answer choices and see which one works but it is not that hard to solve in any case get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by \(5\) and start with \[-2=5-2x\]
ooops my mistake \[-2=4-2x\] that's better
subtract 4 from both sides then divide both sides by \(-2\)
How will that give me the answer?
