Question

-3 (3x-3) = 4/5 (5x-10)

Answer 1

`1(4)/(13)`

Explanation:

-3 (3x-3) = 4/5 (5x-10)

-----------------------------

This also equals to:

-3*(3x-3)=4/5*(5x-10)

-----------------------------

Start by opening the parentheses:

-3*(3x-3)=4/5*(5x-10)

Then use distributive property:

(-3*3x) + (-3*-3)= (4/5*5x) + (4/5*-10)

Simplify the equation:

(-3*3x) + (-3*-3)= (4/5*5x) + (4/5*-10)

-9x+9= 4x-8

+8 +8

-9x+17= 4x

+9x +9x

17= 13x

÷13 ÷13

17/13=x

17/13=

`1(4)/(13)`

-----------------------------

:) Have a good day!

Answer 2

x=17/13

Explanation:
