Answer:

x = - 7.5

Explanation:

Given:


(1)/(5)x+(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)\left(x+5\right)

Solution~:


(1)/(5)x+(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)\left(x+5\right)

Distribute:


(1)/(5)x+(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)x+(5)/(2)

Subtract 1/4 from both sides:


(1)/(5)x+(1)/(4)-(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)x+(5)/(2)-(1)/(4)


(1)/(5)x=(9)/(4)+(1)/(2)x

Subtract 1/2x from both sides:


(1)/(5)x-(1)/(2)x=(9)/(4)+(1)/(2)x-(1)/(2)x


-(3)/(10)x=(9)/(4)

Multiply both sides by 10:


10\left(-(3)/(10)x\right)=(9\cdot \:10)/(4)


-3x=(45)/(2)

Divide both sides by -3:


(-3x)/(-3)=((45)/(2))/(-3)

x = -15/2

x = -7.5
