Question 192740: 6+2x/-5=x
Answer by RAY100(1637)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6+2x/-5 =x
rearrange
6+(-2/5)x=x
subt (-2/5) both sides
6=1x-(-2/5)x=(1 2/5)x=(7/5)x
divide by (7/5) both sides
6/(7/5) =x
invert and multiply
6*(5/7) =x
x=30/7 or 4 2/7
check 6 + 2(30/7)/(-5) =30/7
6-(60/7/5)=30/7
6-(60/7 *(1/5) =30/7
6-12/7=30/7
42/7-12/7=30/7
30/7=30/7 ok
