solve for x
x+4/5-x+3/3=-7/15
To solve for x in the equation:
x + 4/5 - x + 3/3 = -7/15
We first need to simplify the equation by combining like terms.
1. Combine x terms:
x - x = 0, so the x terms cancel out.
The equation becomes:
4/5 + 3/3 = -7/15
2. Convert the fractions to have a common denominator.
The denominators in this case are 5, 3, and 15.
Multiplying the fractions by the following values, we can make them have a common denominator of 15:
4/5 * 3/3 + 3/3 * 5/5 = -7/15
This simplifies to:
12/15 + 15/15 = -7/15
3. Add the fractions:
Since the denominators are now the same, we can add the numerators directly:
27/15 = -7/15
4. Solve for x:
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
We can subtract 27/15 from both sides:
27/15 - 27/15 = -7/15 - 27/15
0 = -34/15
Since there is no value of x that satisfies this equation, we conclude that there is no solution to this equation.
