x+3/2 + (x-1) = 4/5 ​

Sagot :

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] + (x - 1) = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 2 and 5 ) to clear the fractions

10x + 15 + 10(x - 1) = 8

10x + 15 + 10x - 10 = 8

20x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

20x = 3 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

x + 3/2 + x - 1 = 4/5

Collect the same terms

x + x + 3/2 - 1 = 4/5

2x + 3/2 - 2/2 = 4/5

2x + (3 - 2)/2 = 4/5

2x + 1/2 = 4/5

2x + 0.5 = 0.8

Subtract both sides 0.5

2x + 0.5 - 0.5 = 0.8 - 0.5

2x + 0 = 0.3

2x = 3/10

Divide both sides by 2

2x ÷ 2 = ( 3/10 ) ÷ 2

x = 3/10 × 1/2

x = 3/20

_________________________________

Check :

3/20 + 3/2 + ( 3/20 - 1 ) = 4/5

3/20 + 30/20 + ( 3/20 - 20/20 ) = 4/5

(3 + 30)/20 + (3 - 20)/20 = 4/5

33/20 - 17/20 = 4/5

(33 - 17)/20 = 4/5

16/20 = 4/5

4 × 4 / 4 × 5 = 4/5

4/5 = 4/5

Thus we found the correct value of x .

And we're done...
