Question

Solve for X in simplest form. It shows that 28/15 IS NOT CORRECT

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer should be -28/15! that's why 28/15 is not correct ig.

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 8×4=15x+60

=>32-60=15x

=>-28/15=x

Answer 2

Answer:

-28/15 or in mixed form, - 1 13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

• 8 = (3/4)(5x+20)

Let us solve out for x:

Taking into account RHS side, we see

• 5x+20 = 5(x+4) [Factor out 5]

So

• 8 =3*5(x+4)/4
• 8 = (15/4)(x+4)

Multiply both sides by 4/15:

• 8*4/15 = (4/15)(15/4)(x+4)
• 32/15 = x + 4 [(4/15) and (15/4) cancels]

Subtract 4 from both sides:

• (32/15)- 4 = x

This gives

• x = (32-60)/15 = -28/15

This shows the size of x equals -28/15,and not 28/15.

In mixed form it gives -1 13/15.
