What is the solution to the equation show your work
3/5(x-5/8) =1/12-x+7/8

1. distribute

 step 1:              3                  3

                         ×   X =  X

                          5                  5

                3               5           3           Ima convert this into a decimal

            ×   -    = -        > negative .375

                5              8            8

2. write the problem now

        3                          1              7

      X - 0.375 =    - X + 

        5                         12             8

3. I would convert them into decimals and solve

      0.6x - 0.375 = 0.08 - x + 0.875

        +x                         +x

      1.6x - 0.375 = 0.08 + 0.876

         1.6x - 0.375 = 0.956

                  +0.375   +0.375

      1.6x = 1.331

      1.6        1.6

        x = 0.831875

rounded up : 0.83

depending on others is critical to survival. my source is apex!

step-by-step explanation:

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
