Question

What is the solution for the equation 2/5 x - 4 = 26 ?

Answer 1

The given expression is,

`(2)/(5)x-4=26`

Multiplying all the terms with 5, we get

`\begin{gathered} 5*(2)/(5)x-(5*4)=(26*5) \\ 2x-20=130 \\ 2x=130+20 \\ 2x=150 \\ x=(150)/(2)=75 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the solution is, x = 75.
