Question #7d5e7

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

`4/5 = 3x + 1/5`

Multiply right through by 5 to clear the fractions:

`cancel(color(red)5)(4)/(cancel(color(red)5)) = (5)3x + (cancel(color(red)5)1)/cancel(color(red)5)`

`4 = 15x +1`

Subtract 1 from both sides:

`3 = 15x`

Divide both sides by `15`

`3/15 = (cancel(color(red)(15))x)/cancel(color(red)(15)`

`x = 3/15 = color(blue)(1/5)`
