Find the value of x so that the function has the given value. j (x) = - 4/5x+7; j (x) = - 5

Multiply 5 on both sides then move the variable to the left the your equation will look like ... 25x=-4x+35

combine like terms aka 25x + 4x

then it will look like

29x=35

then divide 29 by bothe sides the 29 will cancel out so u have x only but no need to divide 35/29 leave the same.

answer is x=35/29

hope this makes sence

X equals - 15. - 5 = - 4/5+7, and then you just get x by itself.
