Answer:

x = 5.25

Explanation:

subtract 7/10 from both sides of the equation

-8/9x +7/10 - 7/10 = -119/30-7/10

-8/9x = -119-21/30

-8/9x = -140/30

the negative signs cancels out and the right hand side reduced to the lowest tern

8/9x = 14/3

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 8/9 which is 9/8

9/8 * 8/9x = 14/3 * 9/8

x = 21/4

x = 5.25
