Answer:
x = 10/9
Explanation:
Solve for x:
(4 x)/5 + 4/3 = 2 x
Put each term in (4 x)/5 + 4/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 + 4/3 = (12 x)/15 + 20/15:
(12 x)/15 + 20/15 = 2 x
(12 x)/15 + 20/15 = (12 x + 20)/15:
(12 x + 20)/15 = 2 x
Multiply both sides by 15:
(15 (12 x + 20))/15 = 15×2 x
(15 (12 x + 20))/15 = 15/15×(12 x + 20) = 12 x + 20:
12 x + 20 = 15×2 x
15×2 = 30:
12 x + 20 = 30 x
Subtract 30 x from both sides:
(12 x - 30 x) + 20 = 30 x - 30 x
12 x - 30 x = -18 x:
-18 x + 20 = 30 x - 30 x
30 x - 30 x = 0:
20 - 18 x = 0
Subtract 20 from both sides:
(20 - 20) - 18 x = -20
20 - 20 = 0:
-18 x = -20
Divide both sides of -18 x = -20 by -18:
(-18 x)/(-18) = (-20)/(-18)
(-18)/(-18) = 1:
x = (-20)/(-18)
The gcd of 20 and -18 is 2, so (-20)/(-18) = (-(2×10))/(2 (-9)) = 2/2×(-10)/(-9) = (-10)/(-9):
x = (-10)/(-9)
Multiply numerator and denominator of (-10)/(-9) by -1:
Answer: x = 10/9
