Question

solve for x in simplest form.
$5 = \frac{5}{2}(5x - 4)$

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 2

$5 \times 2 = \frac{5}{2}(5x - 4) \times 2$
$10 = 5(5x - 4)$

Step2: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{10}{5} = \frac{5(5x - 4)}{5}$
$2 = 5x - 4$

Step3: Add 4 to both sides

$2 + 4 = 5x - 4 + 4$
$6 = 5x$

Step4: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{6}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}$
$x = \frac{6}{5}$

Answer:

$x = \frac{6}{5}$
