2/5=x-4/4. My answer is: 2*4=5x-20
8=5x-20 20+8=5x-20+20 28=5x
28/5=5x/5= 28/5=x
Is this correct?
2/5=x-4/4.
If this is 2/5 = (x-4)/4, your answer is correct.
you can check your answer esily by pluging that number and if the number you get is the same as in the other side of the equation then your answer is correct
Thank you.
To solve the equation 2/5 = (x-4)/4, you need to isolate the variable x. Here's the correct way to solve it step by step:
1. Start by cross-multiplying: (2 * 4) = (5 * (x-4)).
This simplifies to: 8 = 5x - 20.
2. Next, add 20 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the right side:
8 + 20 = 5x - 20 + 20.
This gives you: 28 = 5x.
3. Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
28/5 = (5x)/5.
This simplifies to: 28/5 = x.
So, your final answer is x = 28/5, which is approximately equal to 5.6.
Your original answer of x = 28/5 is indeed correct. Well done!
