Question

Show me the steps to complete the steps to solve for x 4/5x - 1//4x = 11

Answer 1

The value of x = 20

Explanation:

Given the expression

`(4)/(5)x\:-\:(1)/(4)x\:=\:11`

The L.C.M of 5,4: 20

Multiply by LCM = 20

`(4)/(5)x\cdot \:20-(1)/(4)x\cdot \:20=11\cdot \:20`

Simplify

`16x-5x=220`

`11x=220`

Divide both sides by 11

`(11x)/(11)=(220)/(11)`

`x=20`

Therefore, the value of x = 20
