Solve for X and show your work and explain please

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2/3)x + 4 = (4/5)x - 2

Add 2 on both sides

(2/3)x + 4 + 2 = (4/5)x - 2 + 2

(2/3)x + 6 = (4/5)x

Subtract (2/3)x on both sides

(2/3)x + 6 - (2/3)x = (4/5)x - (2/3)x

6 = (12/15)x - (10/15)x

6 = (2/15)x

Divide 2/15 on both sides

6 / (2/15) = (2/15)x / (2/15)

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
