Solve x can i have the work for me to understand pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 } \left( x+15 \right)=20\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

beware of answers with no explanation they are frequently wrong, (like that one ) and in any case you don't learn anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???????? @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \[(x + 15) = 25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.8 x 20= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im kinda confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok i'll stop talking lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or chatting

OpenStudy (heyitszia1):

Then subtract both sides by 15 and you get the answer, \[x = 10\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
