Answer:
x=1/15
Step-by-step explanation:
SOLVE:
1 (divide) 2 7/9 = x+ 4 2/5x
1 (divide) 25/9 = x + 4 2/5x
1 * 9/25 + 5 2/5x
9/25 = 5 2/5x
divide both sides by 5 2/5 or you can multiply by the reciprocal
5 2/5x = 27/5x
then once you do that you get x= 1/15
CHECK ANSWER:
Insert 1/15 instead of x
1 (divide) 2 7/9 = (1/15) + 4 2/5 (1/15)
9/25 = 9/25 Yes it is a true statement.
