Solve 2x/5 -x/4=3. Solve for X?

2x/5-x/4=3
multiply by 20
8x-5x=60
simplify
3x=60
divide by 3
x=20
Check
2(20)/5-20/4=3 ??
8-5=3??
3=3 =)

Final answer:
x=20

*** 8(x-4) = 3(2x-5)*** Use the distributive belongings to get 8x -32 = 6x-15 Subtract 6x from the two facets. You get 2x - 32 = -15 upload 32 to the two facets. You get 2x = 17 Divide the two facets via 2 with a view to isolate x. You get x = 17/2 ; or x = 8.5 you may examine the respond via plugging in 8.5 into the unique equation You get 8(8.5-4) = 36 and 3(17-5) = 36

8x - 5x = 60

3x = 60

x = 20

2x/5 - x/4
now multiplying the first part with 4 and 2nd part with
for common denominator
8x/20 - 5x/20
8x-5x/20
3x/20 =3
3x/3=20

now 3 will be cancelled
x=20

x=20

2x/5 - x/4 = 3
20(2x/5 - x/4) = 20(3)
4(2x) - 5(x) = 60
8x - 5x = 60
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20

2x/5 - x/4= 3
(8x - 5x) / 20 = 3
8x - 5x = 60
3x= 60
x = 60/3
x= 20

Answer is 20
HOW
2x/5 -X/4 =3 gives you
8x - 5x / 20 =3 this gives you
3x/20 = 3
3s get cancelled and you get 20

Find common denominator

8X/20 - 5X/20 = 3

3X/20 = 3

3X = 60

X=60/3 ====

x=20.......
