Solve:

-6/5x + 2 = 21/25

Steps:

Solution -6/5x + 2 = 21/25 =======> 29/30, Decimal =====> x = 0.96667

Subtract 2 from both sides:

-6/5x + 2 - 2 = 21/25 - 2

Simplify:

-6/5x = -29/25

Multiply both sides by -25:

(-6/5x )(-5) = (-29/25 )(-5)

Simplify:

6x = 29/5

Divide both sides by 6:

6x/6 = 29/5/6

Simplify:

Answer x = 29/30 Decimal: 0.96667....





Hope that helps!!!! : )

x=-64/35

-6/5x+2= 21/25

Do fraction cross multiply

(-6*25=(5x+2)21

Then swap the sides (5x+2) *21 = (-6)*25

multiply(5x+2)21= -150/21

simplify

5x+2=- 50/7

subtact 2

5x+2-2=- 50/7-2

silmplify 5x=-64/7

divide by 5

5x/5=-64/7/5

simplify

x= -64/35
