## anonymous one year ago I really need help and a medal will be given!

1. anonymous

ok so the question is:

2. anonymous

..

3. anonymous

how would i solve 3/5x=-1/5x+3

4. anonymous

$\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }x=-\frac{ 1 }{ 5}x+3$

5. anonymous

Cross multiplcation $\huge~\rm~\frac{ 3 }{ 5x }=\frac{ -1 }{ 5x+3 }$

6. anonymous

what do i do?

7. anonymous

multiply 5x by -1 and 3 by 5x+3?

$$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @SpooderWoman $\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }x=-\frac{ 1 }{ 5}x+3$ $$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}$$ Is this your question?

9. anonymous

yes

10. anonymous

i need to solve for x

11. anonymous

$\huge~\rm~3/ 5 x+ 1 5 x= −1 /5 x+3+ 1 /5 x$ We add 1/5 to both sides

12. anonymous

so it would be 4/5x=3?

13. anonymous

yes the we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 4/5 which is.....?

14. anonymous

3/1?

15. anonymous

No the recoprocal is just the flipped fraction it would be 5/4 now multiply both sides by that

16. anonymous

oh ok so it would be x=15/4?

17. anonymous

yep good job :)

18. anonymous

thank you :D
