Question

How do you solve `24- \frac { 1} { 5} x = - \frac { 1} { 5} x + 24`?

Answer 1

`0`

Explanation:

`24 - 1/5x = - 1/5 x + 24`

Multiply via there LCM which is `5`

`5(24) - cancel5(1/cancel5)x = - cancel5(1/cancel5) x + 5(24)`

`120 - x = -x + 120`

`0 = 0`, since the RHS is equal to the LHS, hence it's `0`
