Question

0.2 Solve each of the following equations :
$\frac{5x - 4}{8} - \frac{x - 3}{5 } = \frac{x + 6}{4}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-4)/8 - (x-3)/5 = (x+6)/4

[5(5x-4) - 8(x-3)]/40 = (x+6)/4

(25x-20-8x+24)/40 = (x+6)/4

(17x+4)/10 = (x+6)

17x+4 = 10(x+6)

17x+4 = 10x+60

17x-10x = 60-4

7x = 56

x = 56/7 = 8
