Step-by-step explanation:
I guess the equation is
(3/5)x - 5 + x - 4 = -1
or is it
(3/5)(x - 5) + x - 4 = -1 ?
or is it
3/(5x) - 5 + x - 4 = -1 ?
or is it
3/(5x - 5) + x - 4 = -1 ?
or even something else ?
the way you wrote it, following the rules strictly, it would be the first option I listed.
so, it is
(3/5)x - 5 + x - 4 = -1
3x/5 - 5 + x - 4 = -1
3x/5 -9 + x = -1
3x/5 + x = 8
3x + 5x = 40
8x = 40
x = 5, and B would be the right answer.
