I think the question is:(3/8)x = (3/5)x - 9Simplify by dividing everything by 3x/8 = x/5 - 3Get rid of the fractions by multiplying everything by 40.40.x/8 = 40.x/5 -3.405x = 8x -120Rearrange120 = 8x - 5x120 = 3xx = 120/3 = 40
Transitive property: If 8 equals x and x equals y, then 8 equals y.
x - 2 = 4x + 46-2 = 3x + 46-48 = 3xx = -48/3 or -16
x equals 8
