Question

For (x-8)/5 -(2x+3)/5 = -7/5 value of x is - *


​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x-8) -(2x+3)/5 = -7/5

x-8-2x -3/5 = -7/5

-x-11/5 = -7/5

5(-x-11) = -7*5

-5x -55 = - 35

-5x = -35+55

     = 20

x    = 20/-5

     = -4

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

(x-8)/5 - (2x+3)/5 = -7/5

Take LCM,

⇒[(x-8)-(2x+3)]/5 = -7/5

⇒[x-8-2x-3]/5 = -7/5            (∵ '-' × '+' = '-' )

the '5' in denominator gets cancelled on both sides

⇒(-x-11) = -7

⇒ -(x+11) = -7

here, '-' gets cancelled on both sides

⇒ x+11 = 7

⇒ x = 7-11

⇒ x = -4

∴ x = -4
