Question #c2067

Answer 1

`x = 9/10 = 0.9`

Explanation:

There are several methods for solving this equation
In this case I have worked with the fractions and removed them by cross=multiplying at the end.

Move the like terms to the same side.

`1/(5x)+1/4 = 1/(4x) -1/4`

`1/4+ 1/4 = 1/(4x) -1/(5x)" "1/4 > 1/5` hence move to RHS

`1/2 =(5+4)/(20x)`

`1/2 = 9/(20x)" "` cross multiply

`20x = 18`

`x = 18/20`

`x = 9/10 = 0.9`
