Question

Which value of x satisfies the equation 4/5 (x+5/3) = 8/15

Answer 1

To find the value of x that satisfies the equation, we need to solve for x. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the x-term, which is (5/4):

(5/4)(4/5)(x + 5/3) = (5/4)(8/15)

This simplifies to:

x + 5/3 = 2/3

Now, subtract 5/3 from both sides:

x = 2/3 - 5/3

x = -3/3

x = -1

The value of x that satisfies the equation is -1.
