Question

Solve the equation:
$\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$

Answer 1

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

Transpose $1$ to RHS

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

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=\frac{7-15}{15}$

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

Multiply both sides by $3$, we will get,
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-8}{15}\times 3$

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

Hence, the solution of $\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$ is $\frac{-8}{5}$.
