Question

Solve $\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$ for the value of $x$.

Answer 1

Given, $\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$

Subtract $1$ from bot sides,

$\frac{x}{3}+1-1=\frac{7}{15}-1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=-\frac{8}{15}$

Multiply $3$ on both the sides,

$x=-\frac{8\times 3}{15}$

$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{8}{5}$
