To solve this equation, we need to find the missing values.
−1/2 can be written as -0.5, so the equation becomes:
?/5 - 0.5 = 3/?
Multiplying both sides of the equation by ?/5 to eliminate the fractions, we get:
? - (0.5 * ?/5) = (3/?) * (?/5)
Simplifying, we have:
? - 0.1? = 3/5
Combining like terms, we get:
0.9? = 3/5
To solve for ?, we multiply both sides of the equation by 5/9 to isolate ?:
(? * 5/9) = (3/5) * (5/9)
This simplifies to:
? = 15/45
? = 1/3
So, the missing value ? equals 1/3.
