Question 149937

{{{(1/3)(x/5+3)+7/25=14/15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{(1/15)x+1+7/25=14/15}}} Distribute.



{{{75((1/cross(15))x+1+7/cross(25))=75(14/cross(15))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{75}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{5x+75+21=70}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{5x+96=70}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=70-96}}} Subtract {{{96}}} from both sides.



{{{5x=-26}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-26)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=-26/5}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x=-5.2}}}
