Question

2/5X - 1/3X = 5
A) (150)
B) (75)
C) (-150)
D) (-75)​

Answer 1

2/5X - 1/3X = 5

A) (150)

B) (75)

C) (-150)

D) (-75)

SOLUTION

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

Find the GCF, 5 × 13 = 15

`(6)/(15) - (5)/(15) = (1)/(15)`

Multiply by 75, take note in every whole number, there is a denominator of one (1) and just simply. 15 ÷ 15 = 1 and 75 ÷ 15 = 5

`(1)/(15) * 75`

multiply it and you'll get the right answer.

`1 * 5`

= 5
