Question

3/5x+1/4=7/20x-4
I found the least common multiple but I don't know
what to do next

Answer 1

x = -17

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 7/20(x) from both sides.

• 
  `3/5(x) + 1/4 - 7/20(x) = 7/20(x) - 4 - 7/20(x)`
• 
  `1/4(x) + 1/4 = -4`

Step 2: Subtract 1/4 from both sides.

• 
  `1/4(x) + 1/4 - 1/4 =- 4 - 1/4`
• 
  `1/4(x) = -17/4`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4.

• 
  `1/4(x) * 4 = -17/4 * 4`
• 
  `x = -17`

Therefore, x = -17.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
