Answer:
-45 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5(4x-2.5) = 5(.4x+10) +3 1/2
Change all to decimal form
.2(4x-2.5) = 5(.4x+10) +3.5
Distribute
.8x - .5 = 2x +50 + 3.5
Combine like terms
.8x - .5 = 2x +53.5
Subtract .8x from each side
.8x-.8x - .5 = 2x-.8x +53.5
-.5 = 1.2x +53.5
Subtract 53.5 from each side
-.5 -53.5 = 1.2x +53.5-53.5
-54 = 1.2x
Divide each side by 1.2
-54/1.2 = 1.2x /1.2
-45 =x
