Click to expand... As posted, this is a simple linear equation: -4x + 4/5 = 5x - 1/2 - x/3 Collect all the terms "containg x" to one side - sometimes this is called "isolating the variable" 4/5 + 1/2 = 5x - x/3 + 4x Now continue...... Please show us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
