Question

(8x-5)/(7x+1)=(-4/5) explain step by step plz say it correctly because i want to finish fast

Answer 1

Answer:

(8x - 5)/(7x + 1) = 4/5

5(8x - 5) = 4(7x + 1)

40x - 25 = 28x + 4

40x - 28x = 4 + 25 m

12x = 29

x = 29/12

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-5)/(7x+1)= -4/5

8x-5 = -4/5 ×7x+1

8x-5= (-28x -1)/5

40x -25 = -28x-1

68x = 24

x = 17/6

(8× 17/6 ) / (7× 17/6 +1)
