Solve for x .........

Answer:
x = 29/20 or x = 1.45
Step-by-step explanation:
6/x + 5/(4x) = 5
Multiply all terms by x and cancel.
6 + 5/4 = 5x
Combine terms on the left side of the equation.
29/4 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5.
29/4/5 = (5x)/5
29/20 = x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{6}{x} + \frac{5}{4x} = 5[/tex]
Multiply through by the LCM
The LCM of x and 4x is 4x
So we have
[tex] {4x} \times \frac{6}{x} + {4x} \times \frac{5}{4x} = 5 \times {4x} \\ \\ 24 + 5 = 20x \\ \\ 20x = 29 \\ \\ x = \frac{29}{20} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 1 \frac{9}{20} [/tex]
Hope this helps you
