Question

-473/144=-5/9x-3 7/8

help

Answer 1

Hi,

Work:


`- (473)/(144) = - (5)/(9)x - 3 (7)/(8) \\ - (473)/(144) = - (5)/(9) x - (21)/(8)`

Multiply both sides by 144.


`- 473 - 80x - 378`

Move X to left side and change its side.


`80x = - 378 + 473`

Calculate the sum


`80x = 95`

Divide both sides by 80.


`x = (19)/(16)`

Fraction form:


`x = 1 (3)/(16)`

Or decimal form:


`1.1875`

Hope this helps.
