How do you solve \frac { 4} { 5} x + \frac { 7} { 2} = \frac { 3} { 10}?

See below

Explanation:

4/5 x + 7/2 = 3/10

First take LCM on both the sides

-> (8x + 35 = 3)/10

Now you can eliminate the LCM

-> 8x + 35 = 3

-> 8x = 3 - 35

-> 8x = -32

Divide both sides by 8

-> cancel8^1*x/(cancel8) = cancel(-32)^-4/(cancel8)

-> x = -4

take LCM and solve

Explanation:

taking LCM in
4/5x + 7/2 = 3/10

=> 8/10x + 35/10 = 3/10

=> 8x + 35 = 3

=> 8x =-32

=> x=-4
hope u find it helpful :)
