Question

Solve the following equation:
2/3 - 1/x = 13/15

Answer 1

x = -5

Explanation:

2/3 - 1/x = 13/15

Subtract 2/3 from each side

2/3 -2/3 - 1/x = 13/15 -2/3

-1/x = 13/15 - 2/3

Getting a common denominator

-1/x = 13/15 -2/3*5/5

-1/x = 13/15 - 10/15

-1/x = 3/15

Using cross products

3x = -15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -15/3

x = -5
