(x-1)/4 =(2x+4)/5

\frac{x - 1}{4} = \frac{2 x + 4}{5}

x = - 7

Solution steps

\frac{x - 1}{4} = \frac{2 x + 4}{5}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

(x - 1) \cdot 5 = 4 (2 x + 4)

Expand

(x - 1) \cdot 5 : 5 x - 5

Expand

4 (2 x + 4) : 8 x + 16

5 x - 5 = 8 x + 16

Move

5

to the right side

5 x = 8 x + 21

Move

8 x

to the left side

- 3 x = 21

Divide both sides by

- 3

x = - 7

8 (2 y + 2) - 12 y = 10

\frac{7}{8} x = 224

\frac{u}{5} + 6 = 2

x, 2 x + ∣ y ∣ = 0

\frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{3 x}{4} - x + \frac{11}{30} = 0
