Question

x/5- x/8 = 15 solve and check​

Answer 1

Answer:

200 would be the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

8x/40 - 5x/40 = 15

3x/ 40 = 15

x = 5 × 40

x = 200

Answer 2

Answer:

x/5 - x/8 = 15

5 x 8 = 40

8 x (x/5) - 5 x (x/8) = 15

8x/40 - 5x/40 = 15

3x/40 = 15

3x = 15 x 40

x = 600 / 3

x = 200

By Checking: 200/5 - 200/8

40 - 25 = 15

Hence, x = 200
