Question

What is the answer for this? Ugh I hate study island!!

Answer 1

`(7x)/(8)-(1)/(40)`

Explanation:

`((3x)/(4)-(5)/(8))+((x)/(8)+(3)/(5))`

By combining the like terms,

=
`((3x)/(4)+(x)/(8))+((3)/(5)-(5)/(8))`

=
`((6x)/(8)+(x)/(8))+((3)/(5)* (8)/(8)-(5)/(8)* (5)/(5) )`

=
`(7x)/(8)+((24)/(40)-(25)/(40))`

=
`(7x)/(8)-(1)/(40)`

Therefore, by solving the given expression we find the answer as
`(7x)/(8)-(1)/(40)`.
