Question

What is the solution to the equation

below?


-5/4 x+ 2/5= -13/30

Answer 1

is it a times before the +?

Explanation:

Answer 2

x =
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given

-
`(5)/(4)` x +
`(2)/(5)` = -
`(13)/(30)`

Multiply through by 60 ( the lcm of 4, 5 and 30) to clear the fractions

- 75x + 24 = - 26 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

- 75x = - 50 ( divide both sides by - 75 )

x =
`(-50)/(-75)` =
`(2)/(3)`
