\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 } \left( x+15 \right)=20\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
beware of answers with no explanation
they are frequently wrong, (like that one ) and in any case you don't learn anything

^^

a) multiply both sides by \(\frac{5}{4}\) then
b) subtract \(15\) from both sides

Well first you have to get the decimal of \[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=0.8\]
OpenStudy (heyitszia1):
First you need to multiply both sides by \[\frac{ 5 }{ 4 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(4 divided by 5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then, multiply by 20, and you get?
OpenStudy (heyitszia1):
Because that's the reciprocal of \[\frac{ 4 }{ 5}\] You'll get \[(x + 15) = 25\]

x = 10
10 + 15 = 25
4/5 of 25 = 20
ANSWER: x = 10
4/5 = 80%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have to figure out what has to be divided by 80% to = 20
25 / 80% = 20
x is 10 and 10 + 15 = 25
