Question 309203: Will you please assist me on these two algebraic solution:
-9x + 5/7= 7/9.
2/5 (10x-3) -x=9/5.
1. This is how I start the first one: -9x + 5/7= 7/9
-9x +5/7-5/7 = 7/9-5/7= 4/63 reduce it to 36/63 and still wrong.
2. 2/5 (10x-3)-x=9/5
2/5 (7x)-x=9/5
2/5x 7x-x=9/5
2/5 x 6x=9/5
2/5 x 6/1=12/5 =9/5
lose at this point.
