Hi,
Work:
[tex] - \frac{473}{144} = - \frac{5}{9}x - 3 \frac{7}{8} \\ - \frac{473}{144} = - \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{21}{8} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by 144.
[tex] - 473 - 80x - 378[/tex]
Move X to left side and change its side.
[tex]80x = - 378 + 473[/tex]
Calculate the sum
[tex]80x = 95[/tex]
Divide both sides by 80.
[tex]x = \frac{19}{16} [/tex]
+++ Results +++
Fraction form:
[tex]x = 1 \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
Or decimal form:
[tex]1.1875[/tex]
Hope this helps.
