Question

What is the value of x

Could someone help me out here and show the work for this question? Thank and this is much appreciated

Answer 1

X=7

30 =25+ 1/5 of 25
4x-4 =20+1/5 of 20 (=24)
4x-4=24
4x=28
X=7
24/20= 1.2
30/25= 1.2

Answer 2

`\boxed{\boxed{\bf x = 7}}`

Explanation:

`\sf \cfrac{4x - 4}{20} = \cfrac{30}{25}`

`\sf 4x - 4 = \cfrac{(20)(30)}{25}`

`\sf 4x - 4 = \cfrac{600}{25}`

`\sf 4x - 4 = 24`

`\sf 4x = 24 + 4`

`\sf \cfrac{4x}{4} = \cfrac{28}{4}`

`\sf x = 7`
