Answer:

Explanation:

I think you meant 3([7/5]x + 4) - 2(3/2 - [5/4]x). If that's the case, then identify the LCD: It is 20. Multiply both [7/5]x + 4 and 3/2 - [5/4]x by 20 and then divide the resulting expression by 20:

3(28x + 80) - 2(30 - 25x)

------------------------------------

20

Next, perform the indicated multiplication:

84x + 240 - 60 + 50x

----------------------------------

20

This simplifies to:

34x + 180 17x + 9

---------------- = ----------------

20 10

Next time, please share the answer choices.
