Answer:
О x = 10 3/4
[tex]x = 10\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/5 ( x + 1 3/4) = -2 1/2
Particularly:
1 3/4 = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4
-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -4/2 - 1/2 = -5/2
Then:
-1/5 (x + 7/4) = -5/2
(x*-1/5 + 7/4*-1/5) = -5/2
(-x/5 + ((7*-1) / (4*5))) = -5/2
-x/5 + (-7/20) = -5/2
-x/5 - 7/20 = -5/2
-4x/20 - 7/20 = -50/20
-4x - 7 = -50
-4x = -50 + 7
-4x = -43
x = -43/-4
x = 43/4
43/4 = 40/4 + 3/4 = 10 + 3/4 = 10 3/4
