Math Problem Statement

3-4x/5=4+x/5

Solution

We start by solving the equation:

34x5=4+x53 - \frac{4x}{5} = 4 + \frac{x}{5}

Step 1: Eliminate fractions

To eliminate the fractions, multiply through by 5 (the least common denominator):

5(34x5)=5(4+x5)5 \cdot \left(3 - \frac{4x}{5}\right) = 5 \cdot \left(4 + \frac{x}{5}\right)

This simplifies to:

154x=20+x15 - 4x = 20 + x

Step 2: Rearrange terms

Move all terms involving xx to one side and constants to the other:

4xx=2015-4x - x = 20 - 15

Simplify:

5x=5-5x = 5

Step 3: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by 5-5:

x=1x = -1

Final Answer:

x=1x = -1
