To solve the equation, we can start by isolating the x-term.
To do this, we can first distribute the fraction to the terms inside the parentheses:
4/7 = 8/5 * x - 16/5
Next, let's get rid of the fractions by multiplying all terms by the least common denominator (LCD), which is 35 in this case:
35 * (4/7) = 35 * (8/5 * x - 16/5)
20 = 56x - 112
Now, let's isolate the x-term by moving the constant term to the other side:
56x = 20 + 112
56x = 132
Lastly, divide both sides by 56 to solve for x:
x = 132/56
Simplifying the right side, we get:
x = 33/14
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 33/14.
Solve the equation.
4/7=8\5x-2
