-2 3 2 1
--- + ---- = ----- + -----
5x 1 3x 3

make the denominator equal


-2 3 × 5x 2 1 × X
--- + --------- = ----- + ---------
5x 1 × 5x 3x 3× X

-2 15X 2 X
--- + --------- = ----- + ---------
5x 5x 3x 3X

-2 + 15X 2 + X
------------ = --------------
5x 3X

Multiply With ✂️

(-2 + 15X) (3X) = (2+X)(5X)

-6X + 45X² = 10X + 5X²

45X² - 5X² = 10X + 6X

40X² = 16X

devide by 4X

10X = 4

X = 4 ÷ 10

X = 0.4
