Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{-14}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\frac{x}{5}$ + 1 = $\frac{1}{15}$

To Find :

The Value of x.

Solution :

=> $\frac{x}{5}$ + 1 = $\frac{1}{15}$

=> $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{15}$ - 1

=> $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{15}$ + $(\frac{-15}{15})$

=> $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{1-15}{15}$

=> $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{-14}{15}$

=> 15x = -70

=> x = $\frac{-70}{15}$

=> x = $\frac{-14}{3}$
