Answer: x = 109/48


Explanation:

1. Simplify 4 x x/5 to 4x/5

1/4 + 4x/5 = 31 15

2. Subtract 1/4 from both sides

4x/5 = 31/15 - 1/4

3. Simplify 31/15 - 1/4 to 109/60

4x/5 = 109/60

4. Multiply 1both sides by 5

4x = 109/60 x 5

5. Simplify 109/60 x 5 to 545/60

4x = 545/60

6. Simplify 545/60 to 109/12

4x = 109/12

7. Divide both sides by 4

x = 109/12/4

8. Simplify 109/12/4 to 109/12 x 4

9. Simplify 12 x 4 to 48

x = 109/48


Hope this helps & happy halloween! :)
