the questions are fractions and i don't know how to type that out in this box so they can be found at the 2 links below. If you can even just explain to me what to do I would appreciate it. these are the only 2 questions I am having problems with.

  1. 4x-2/5=10

    First mutiply both sides by 5

    5 (4x-2)/5 = 50 then

    4x-2=50 then

    4x=52 then

    x=52/4 -------->>>>> x=13

    number 2:

    (-x/3) -5 = 2x Let's rearrange the terms by adding 5 to each side

    -x/3 = 2x + 5

    Multiply both sides by 3

    3(-x/3) = 6x + 15

    Balance:

    -x = 6x + 15

    6x +15 = -x

    add an x to both sides:

    7x + 15 = 0

    7x = -15

    x= 7/-15


  2. (4x - 2) / 5 = 10

    4x -2 = 5 x 10 (Multiply both sides by 5)

    4x - 2 = 50

    4x = 50 + 2 (Add 2 to both sides)

    4x = 52

    x = 13 (Divide both sides by 4)

    (-x / 3) - 5 = 2x

    (-x / 3)  = 2x + 5 (Add 5 to both sides)

    (-x / 3) - 2x = 5 (Subtract 2x from both sides)

    (-x / 3) - (6x / 3) = 5 (Find common denominator)

    (-x - 6x) / 3 = 5 (Combine like terms)

    -7x = 15 (Multiply both sides by 3)

    x = -15/7 (Divide both sides by -7)

    x = -2 1/7

  3. Just follow the way I solved it.

    4x - 2

    --------- = 10

    5

    4x - 2 = (10)(5)

    4x - 2 = 50

    4x = 50+2

    x = 52/4 -----Just simplify in the simplest form.
