Answer:

Correct answer is B= 265/91

Explanation:

8/7- (5X-2)=1/5X-12

SEperating variables and constants on one side

8/7+12 = 1/5x + (5x-2)

8 + 12(7)/7 =1x+5(5x-2)/5 (LCM)

8+ 84 /7 = X + 25x - 10/5

92/7 = 26x -10/5 (Multiplying 5 on left side)

5 (92/7) = 26x -10

460/7 = 26x - 10

460/ 7 + 10 =26x (Adding 10 on the left side)

460 + 7(10)/7 = 26x

460 + 70/ 7 = 26x

530/7= 26x

530/7(26) = x

530/ 182 = x

x = 265/91
