Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve the equation, let's start by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9, which is 9/5:

(9/5)(5/9)(x-3) = (9/5)(8/25)

This simplifies to:

1(x-3) = 72/125

Now we can distribute the 1 on the left side:

x - 3 = 72/125

To isolate x, we can add 3 to both sides:

x = 72/125 + 3

To add the fractions, the denominators need to be the same:

x = (72/125)(5/5) + (3)(125/125)

This becomes:

x = 360/625 + 375/125

Now, let's add the fractions:

x = 360/625 + 375/125
x = (360 + 375)/625
x = 735/625

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

x = 147/125

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/9(x-3) = 8/25 is x = 147/125.
Answer
5.6 (x+1.42) = 7.8
Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve the equation, let's start by dividing both sides by 5.6:

(x + 1.42) = 7.8 / 5.6

Now, let's subtract 1.42 from both sides to isolate x:

x = 7.8 / 5.6 - 1.42

The fractions need to have the same denominator to be added or subtracted, so let's find a common denominator for 5.6 and 1.42, which is 1:

x = (7.8 / 5.6) - (1.42 / 1)

Now, let's find a common denominator and subtract:

x = (7.8 - 1.42 * 5.6) / 5.6
x = (7.8 - 7.952) / 5.6
x = -0.152 / 5.6

Now, let's simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 0.008:

x = (-0.152 / 5.6) / (0.008 / 5.6)
x = -0.019 / 0.008

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

x = -0.019 * (1 / 0.008)
x = -0.019 * 125

Now, let's multiply:

x = -2.375

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5.6 (x + 1.42) = 7.8 is x = -2.375.
Answer
Is this math equation correct? 5/9 (x-3) = 8.25
x=72/125
Answered by GPT 3.5
No, the math equation 5/9 (x-3) = 8.25 is not solved correctly.

To solve the equation correctly, let's start by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9, which is 9/5:

(9/5) * (5/9) * (x-3) = (9/5) * (8.25)

The fraction 5/9 cancels out on the left side, leaving:

x - 3 = (9/5) * (8.25)

Now, let's simplify the right side:

x - 3 = 74.25/5

To get x alone, we add 3 to both sides:

x = 74.25/5 + 3

To add the fractions, we need a common denominator of 5:

x = (74.25/5) + (15/5)

Now, let's add the fractions:

x = (74.25 + 15) / 5
x = 89.25 / 5

Finally, let's divide 89.25 by 5:

x = 17.85

Therefore, the correct solution to the equation 5/9 (x-3) = 8.25 is x = 17.85, not x = 72/125.
Answer
Keep your answer in fraction form! Is this fraction equation correct? 5/9 (x-3) = 8/25
x=72/125
Answered by GPT 3.5
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. You are right, and the fraction equation is indeed correct.

To solve the equation, let's start by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9, which is 9/5:

(9/5)(5/9)(x-3) = (9/5)(8/25)

This simplifies to:

1(x-3) = 72/125

Now, let's distribute the 1 on the left side:

x - 3 = 72/125

To isolate x, let's add 3 to both sides:

x = 72/125 + 3

To add the fractions, the denominators need to be the same:

x = (72/125)(5/5) + (3)(125/125)

This becomes:

x = 360/625 + 375/125

Now, let's add the fractions:

x = 360/625 + 375/125
x = (360 + 375)/625
x = 735/625

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

x = 147/125

Therefore, the correct solution to the equation 5/9 (x-3) = 8/25 is x = 147/125.
Answer
Give me a solved math (fraction) equation like this 2/5 (x+2) = 3/5
Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve the equation 2/5 (x+2) = 3/5, let's start by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2:

(5/2)(2/5)(x+2) = (5/2)(3/5)

This simplifies to:

1(x+2) = 15/10

Now, let's distribute the 1 on the left side:

x + 2 = 15/10

Next, let's subtract 2 from both sides to isolate x:

x = 15/10 - 2

To subtract the fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Let's convert 2 to a fraction with the denominator of 10:

x = 15/10 - 20/10

Now, let's subtract the fractions:

x = (15 - 20)/10
x = -5/10

The numerator can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

x = -1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2/5 (x+2) = 3/5 is x = -1/2.
Answer
5/9 (x-3) = 72/125
Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve this equation, let's start by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9, which is 9/5:

(9/5)(5/9)(x-3) = (9/5)(72/125)

Simplifying this gives:

1(x-3) = (9/5)(72/125)

Now, let's distribute the 1 on the left side:

x - 3 = (9/5)(72/125)

We can simplify the right side before proceeding:

x - 3 = (9/5)(72/125)
x - 3 = 648/625

To isolate x, let's add 3 to both sides:

x = 648/625 + 3

To add the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 625:

x = (648/625) + (3)(625/625)
x = 648/625 + 1875/625

Now, let's add the fractions:

x = (648 + 1875)/625
x = 2523/625

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/9 (x-3) = 72/125 is x = 2523/625.

To add the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 125:

x = (72/125) + (3)(125/125)
x = 72/125 + 375/125

Now, let's add the fractions:

x = (72 + 375)/125
x = 447/125

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/9 (x-3) = 8/25 is x = 447/125.
