Question

Solve for "x" - 2x-1/2 - x-5/3 = 5/4

Answer 1

For this equation the answer is :
`x=(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Firstly, We'll have to take the LCM of the denominators as usual.

Here, The deniominators are :
`2` and
`3.`

LCM =
`2 × 3 = 6`

Now we can solve our equation:

`(3(2x-1))/(6) -(2(x-5))/(6) =(5)/(4)`

`((6x-3)-(2x-10))/(6) =(5)/(4)`

`(4x+7)/(6) = (5)/(4)`

`4x+7=7.5`

`4x=(1)/(2)`

`x=(1)/(8)`
