Question

Help me pleaseeeeeee

Answer 1

x = 19/24

Explanation:

First, you can cross multiply, so

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

which equals 40x-5 = 16x+14

you basically just solve from there, so subtract 16 from both sides to get 24x-5=14

Then, you can add 5 on both sides to get

24x=19

Divide both sides by 24 to get:

x = 19/24

In decimal form it would be

x = 0.7916...
