Solve for x 17 35 x 35 75 25x 5 5 a 130 b 215 c 110 d 16

Solve for x. 1/7 (35 x - 35) = 7/5 (25x - 5) + 5 a) 1/30 b) -2/15 c) -1/10 d) -1/6 e) -1/6 e) -1/5 f) None of the above.

(1/7(35x - 35) =7/5(25x - 5) +5

Taking out 35 outside the bracket from LHS:

Taking out 5 outside the bracket from RHS:

35/7(x-1) = 7*5/5(5x -1) +5

5(x-1) = 7(5x -1) +5

5x -5 = 35x -7 +5

-30x = -7 +10

-30x = 3

x = -1/10
