Question

Solve. -4 3/4 = x - 1 1/5 QUICK!!!​

Answer 1

`x = (-49)/(20)`

Explanation:

`-4(3)/(4) = x - 1(1)/(5)`

`(-4*4+3)/(5) = x - (-1*5+1)/(5)`

`(-13)/(4) = x - (4)/(5)`

`x = (-13)/(4) + (4)/(5)` (collecting like terms to one side)

`x = ((-13*5) + (4*4))/(4*5)`

`x = (-65+16)/(20) \\`

`x = (-49)/(20)`
