Question

I need someone to help me fiqure this equation out and then explain how you got the answer.
x + 7/10 = -1/5

Answer 1

x + 7/10 = -1/5

We need to get the known quantities on one side and the unknowns on the other side.

First subtract 7/10 from both sides of the equation.

x + 7/10 - 7/10 = -1/5 - 7/10
x = -2/10 - 7/10

x = -9/10

Answer 2

I would subtract 7/10 from each side.

x=-1/5-7/10

x= -2/10-7/10=-9/10
