Question

x/3+1=7/15 Solve for x Answer (with steps)

Answer 1

x/3 +1 =7/15
X/3=7/15-1
X/3= 7-15      (on taking LCM)
         15
X/3=-8/15
X=-8/15× 3=-8/5

Answer 2

The value of X is $\bold{-\frac{8}{5}}$.  

To find the value of X for the given equation  

$\frac{X}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$

The first step is take LCM  

By taking LCM on the LHS  

$\frac{(X+3)}{3}=\frac{7}{15}$

The equation will become after taking LCM

5X+15 = 7

15 is carried to the other side and its sign is changed to subtraction,

5X = 7-15

5X = -8                  

$X=\frac {-8}{5}$

The answer will be in decimal form as it is not a balanced fraction.
