Question 757568
3/5(x+2)=x-4
Multiply out
3/5x + 6/5 = x - 4
Collect like terms
remembering to change signs 
as you cross the equal sign.
3/5x - x = -4 - 6/5
(x = 5/5x   and -4 = -20/5)
     -2/5x = -26/5
Cross multiply
-10x = -130
Divide both sides by -10
   x = 13.
Proof:
3/5(x+2)=x-4
3/5(13 + 2) = 13 - 4
3/5(15) = 9
     9 = 9  Proved
Hope this helps.
