Problem: 1/5(x-15)=4/5
i really do not get equations with fractiion they truly confuse me thank you for your time
1/5(x - 15) = 4/5
1/5 x - 3 = 4/5
1/5 x - 3 + 3 = 4/5 + 3
1/5 x = 3 4/5
(1/5 x) * 5 = (3 4/5) * 5
x = (3 4/5) * 5
x = (3 * 5) + (4/5 * 5)
x = 15 + 4
x = 19
Check it.
1/5(x - 15) = 4/5
1/5(19 - 15) = 4/5
1/5(4) = 4/5
4/5 = 4/5
Answer: x = 19
