2x-4/5= x+4
Move 2x to the other side. Positive 2x changes into -2x
2x-2x-4/5= x-2x+4
-4/5= -x+4
Move +4 to the other side. Positive 4 changes into -4
-4/5-4= -x+4-4
-4/5-4= -x
Find the common denominator which is 5
-4(1)/5
-4/5- 20/5= -x
-24/5= -x
Multiply by -1 to get positive x and for -24/5
-24(-1)/5(-1)= -1(-x)
24/5= x
x= 24/5 or x= 4 4/5
Answer is x= 24/5 or x= 4 4/5
Answer:
X = 4 4/5 (Four and four-fiths)
Step-by-step explanation:
Chances are your not reading this BUT if you are, if anything doesn't make sense, feel free to contact me for more help! :)
First I turned the minus 4/5 into a plus-negative:
2x + -4/5 = x + 4
Then I got rid of one of the X's by subtracting x (or 1x) from 2x, leaving you with 1x (or just x)
1x + -4/5 = 4
Then I subtracted the negative 4/5 (witch you can't really subtract a negative so its just like adding a positive 4/5). Which leaves us with:
1x = 4 4/5
Then you would divide both sides by one (or just do nothing it it's just a x)
So now you have your answer!
x = 4 4/5
