Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 7/10
Discussion:
To eliminate fractions multiply each side by 10:
10 ( 9/5x - 2/5 ) = 10 * ( 8x +3)/10 or
10 * ( 9/5)x - 10 *(2/5) = 8x + 3 or
9 *2 x - 2*2 = 8x +3 or
18x - 4 = 8x + 3. Subtract 8x for each side:
18x - 8x - 4 = (8x - 8x) + 3 or
10x -4 = 0x + 3 or
10x -4 = 3 or
10x = 7
x = 7/10
Thank you,
MrB
