Answer:
x = - 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+5\right)[/tex]
Solution~:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+5\right)[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Subtract 1/4 from both sides:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
Subtract 1/2x from both sides:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{3}{10}x=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 10:
[tex]10\left(-\frac{3}{10}x\right)=\frac{9\cdot \:10}{4}[/tex]
[tex]-3x=\frac{45}{2}[/tex]
Divide both sides by -3:
[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{\frac{45}{2}}{-3}[/tex]
x = -15/2
x = -7.5
