Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:2-.75x=.40

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

`2-(3)/(4)x =(2)/(5)\\8-3x=(8)/(5)\\40-15x=8`

I simply multiplied the equation on both sides by the denominators of each fraction to get whole numbers. You can also do this by multiplying by 20, since the product of the denominators is 20 and will guarantee to create a numerator that creates a fraction that is also a whole number.

20(3/4)=60/4=15

20(2/5)=40/5=8

20(2)=40
