Answer 1

=-10

Explanation:

Find common denominator45−1=−9\frac{4x}{5}-1=-945+5(−1)5=−9\frac{4x}{5}+\frac{5(-1)}{5}=92Combine fraction with common denominator45+5(−1)5=−9\frac{4x}{5}+\frac{5(-1)}{5}=-94+5(−1)5=−9\frac{4x+5(-1)}{5}=-93Multiply the numbers4+5(−1)5=−94−5=-9\frac{4x{\color{#c2786}{-5}}}{5}=-9

Answer 2

e = -10

Explanation:

4e/5 -1 = -9

multiply both side by 5

4e - 5 = -45

move constant to the right of the equation

4e = -45 + 5

divide both sides by 4

4e = -10
