Question

`(-4)/(5)x +7=-13` Find the value of x

Answer 1

The value of x is 25

Answer 2

Answer: x = 25

Explanation:

`-(4)/(5) x + 7=-13`

1. First get X by itself by subtracting 7 from both sides

`-(4)/(5) x=-20`

2. Multiply by the reciprocal of 4/5 on both sides

`(-(5)/(4) )-(4)/(5) x=-20(-(5)/(4) )`

3. Simplify

`x=25`
