Question

X/3 + 1 = 7/15 with steps

Answer 1

- 8/5

Explanation:

x/3 + 1 = 7/15

x/3 + 1/1 = 7/15

x/3 = 7/15 - 1/1

x/3 = 7/15 - 15/15

x/3 = - 8/15

x = - 8/15 × 3

x = - 24/15

x = - 8/5

Answer 2

x = -8/5

Explanation:

X/3 + 1 = 7/15

Subtract 1 from each side

X/3 + 1 -1= 7/15-1

x/3 = 7/15-1

Get a common denominator for the right side

x/3 = 7/15 - 15/15

x/3 = -8/15

Multiply each side by 3

x/3 * 3 = -8/15 *3

x = -8/5
