I need someone to help me fiqure this equation out and then explain how you got the answer.
x + 7/10 = -1/5
x + 7/10 = -1/5
We need to get the known quantities on one side and the unknowns on the other side.
First subtract 7/10 from both sides of the equation.
x + 7/10 - 7/10 = -1/5 - 7/10
x = -2/10 - 7/10
x = -9/10
I would subtract 7/10 from each side.
x=-1/5-7/10
x= -2/10-7/10=-9/10
To solve the equation x + 7/10 = -1/5, we need to isolate the variable x. Here's how we can do it step-by-step:
Step 1: Get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD), which in this case is 10.
10(x + 7/10) = 10(-1/5)
This simplifies to:
10x + 7 = -2
Step 2: Now, isolate the variable x by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation:
10x + 7 - 7 = -2 - 7
This simplifies to:
10x = -9
Step 3: To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 10:
(10x) / 10 = (-9) / 10
This simplifies to:
x = -9/10
So, the solution to the equation x + 7/10 = -1/5 is x = -9/10.
