HELP i need help solving 5x+(3x-4/5)=12

Answer 1

x=7/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x=(8)/(5)`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`5x+(3x-(4)/(5))=12`. We are asked to solve the given equation.

First of all, we will remove parentheses as:

`5x+3x-(4)/(5)=12`

Now, we will combine like terms.

`8x-(4)/(5)=12`

Upon adding
`(4)/(5)` on both sides of equation, we will get:

`8x-(4)/(5)+(4)/(5)=12+(4)/(5)`

`8x=12+(4)/(5)`

Now, we need to make a common denominator.

`8x=(60)/(5)+(4)/(5)`

`8x=(60+4)/(5)`

`8x=(64)/(5)`

Our last step is to divide both sides by 8 as:

`(8x)/(8)=(64)/(5\cdot 8)`

`x=(8)/(5\cdot 1)`

`x=(8)/(5)`

Therefore,
`x=(8)/(5)` is the solution of our given equation.
