You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%2F5%2B10=4%2F5 Start with the given equation.


cross%285%29%28x%2Fcross%285%29%29%2B5%2810%29=cross%285%29%284%2Fcross%285%29%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 5 to clear any fractions.


x%2B50=4 Multiply and simplify.


x=4-50 Subtract 50 from both sides.


x=-46 Combine like terms on the right side.
