Algebra: Linear Equations & Applications Question?

  • Can anyone explain to me how they got this answer?

    152=x+6/10x
    152=x+3/5x
    152=8/5x

    How did you get 8/5x??? can anyone show me the steps or explain how x+3/5x equals 8/5x?

    I have a test due today and I need to know how they got this answer. Thnka so much!!!


  • well x can be thought of as 1x
    one is any number over itself, so for example, 1 = 8/8 or 192/192
    so now look at the equation as:
    152 = 1x + 3/5x
    To make it easier to add, we convert everything to 1/5s
    so
    152 = 5/5x + 3/5x
    5/5 + 3/5 = 8/5
    so 152 = 8/5x
