Question

Could someone please see if I'm correct? Question below

Answer 1

It's 4/5 less than 4x..

Answer 2

So we're subtracting?

Answer 3

Yep !

Answer 4

\[4x-\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=2\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 5

Yeah, correct

Answer 6

\[4x-\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=2\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]
to find our answer right?

Answer 7

Yeah, go on

Answer 8

I don't know how to do the next part

Answer 9

\[2\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=2+\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 10

So it'd be \[2+5?\] or \[2+\frac{ 5 }{ 10 }\]

Answer 11

It's neither. I don't know how you got those...

Answer 12

I just left the two and added \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 13

Because they have the same denominator :
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 1+4 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 5 }=1\]

Answer 14

Okay so 1 is our x?

Answer 15

No, you keep on solving from here \[4x-\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=2\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 16

Okay how would I do the next step?

Answer 17

\[4x-\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }=2+\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]\[4x=2+1\]This is what we did so far, can't you go from here ?

Answer 18

yes thank you so much for your help

Answer 19
