1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation 15(5x)7(x+9)15x=4\frac{15(5 - x) - 7(x + 9)}{1 - 5x} = 4 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, expand the terms in the numerator:
15(5x)=7515x15(5 - x) = 75 - 15x
7(x+9)=7x+637(x + 9) = 7x + 63
Substitute these into the numerator:
7515x(7x+63)=7515x7x63=1222x75 - 15x - (7x + 63) = 75 - 15x - 7x - 63 = 12 - 22x
So the equation becomes:
1222x15x=4\frac{12 - 22x}{1 - 5x} = 4
Multiply both sides by (15x)(1 - 5x):
1222x=4(15x)12 - 22x = 4(1 - 5x)
1222x=420x12 - 22x = 4 - 20x
Add 22x22x to both sides:
12=4+2x12 = 4 + 2x
Subtract 44 from both sides:
8=2x8 = 2x
Divide both sides by 22:
x=4x = 4
We need to check if x=4x=4 makes the denominator 15x1-5x equal to zero.
15(4)=120=191 - 5(4) = 1 - 20 = -19. Since the denominator is not zero, x=4x=4 is a valid solution.

3. Final Answer

x=4x = 4
