Answer:

Solution given:

5(9x-8)=4(x+2)

45x-40=4x+8

45x-4x=40+8

41x=48

x=[tex] \frac{48}{41} [/tex]

Gabriella is not correct:

she has done in distribution

5(9x-8)=4(x+2)

45x-40=4x+8 not 45x-8=4x+2.

No, Gabriela is not solving correctly because her second step is wrong.

What is a fraction?

In a fraction the upper part is known as numerator and the lower part is known as denominator.

How to solve the problem?

The problem is as under

(9x-8)/4=(x+2)/5

The above problem is solved as

5(9x-8)=4(x+2)

45x-40=4x+2

41x=42

x=42/41

Hence the value of x is 42/41 therefore the solution of Gabriella is wrong.
