Answer:
4/45 = x
Explanation:
Strongly suggest that you enclose the fractional coefficients inside parentheses to reduce possible ambiguity:
(3/4)x + 2/5 = 4x - (1/4)x
Consolidate the x terms on the right side and leave the 2/5 on the left:
2/5 = (4 - 1/4 + 3/4)x, or
2/5 = (4 1/2)x or 2/5 = (9/2)x
Solving for x: Multiply both sides by (2/9):
(2/9)(2/5) = (2/9)(9/2)x, or:
4/45 = x
