Solve the equation no calculator 1/5 (x +2)= 1/4 (x + 6)

First, you need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 20 and you would get:

4(x + 2) = 5(x + 6)

Now, you need to get rid of the parenthesis by distributing:

4x + 8 = 5x + 30

Subtract both sides by 5x:

-x + 8 = 30

Subtract both sides by 8:

-x = 22

Now, divide both sides by -1:

x = -22

P.S.: You don't really need a calculator to solve.

a

explanation:

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
