I need help on my homework.?
Can you show me the steps?
3/5x-6/25=3/5
by the way those are fractions
i didn’t know how to type fractions on here

so you get 25x*3/5x + 25x*6/25 = 25x*3/5
simplifying that gives
15 + 6x =15x
next subtract 6x from both sides of the equation and you get
15 = 9x
divide both sides by 9 and you get
15/9 = x
or x= 5/3
you have to multiply 3/5x(5) -6/25 (1)= 3/5(5)= 15/25x-6/25=15/25
then you make them into whole numbers. 100 is the denominator you want. 25 goes into 100 4 times. so now you multiply the top number times 4. 15(4) 6(4) 24 and 15(4)=60
60x-24=60. now add 24 to both sides to get rid of it.
60x-24+24=60+24= 60x=84
now reduce by lcd which is 12
60/12=84/12=
5x=7 which is the lowest set of whole numbers you can get
now dvide both sides by 5
5x/5=7/5=
x=1.4 and now you plug it into the original formula to check
3/5 (1.4)- 6/25= 3/5
84-24=60 which is true
3/5x[which is 5]=15/25
15/25-6/25=9/25
reduce:
3/5!
so you multiply that by its reciprical on both sides giving you
x -6/25=1
then add 6/25 to 1
x=1 6/25
