Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, first distribute 8/11 to both terms inside the parentheses:
8/11(x) + 8/11(4/5) = 24/55.
This simplifies to:
(8/11)x + 32/55 = 24/55.
Next, subtract 32/55 from both sides of the equation:
(8/11)x = 24/55 - 32/55.
Simplifying the right side gives:
(8/11)x = -8/55.
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/11, which is 11/8:
(11/8)(8/11)x = (11/8)(-8/55).
This reduces to:
x = -88/440.
Finally, simplify the fraction:
x = -1/5.
Therefore, x is equal to -1/5 or -0.2.
