<PRE><B>Question 147787</B>


{{{-(5/6)x=-7/8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{24(-(5/cross(6))x)=24(-7/cross(8))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{24}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{-20x=-21}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{x=(-21)/(-20)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-20}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=21/20}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=21/20}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x=1.05}}}
