3 x - 1 + 5 x = 5 (x - 1)

x = - \frac{4}{3}

Decimal Notation

x = - 1.33333 \dots

Solution steps

3 x - 1 + 5 x = 5 (x - 1)

1

to the right side

8 x = 5 x - 4

Move

5 x

to the left side

3 x = - 4

Divide both sides by

3

x = - \frac{4}{3}

(1 + \frac{i}{n})^{2}

5 x^{2} = - 3 x - 4

9^{5 n} \leq \frac{1}{6561}

2 = 2 m - 7
