Answer:


x=(27)/(10)

Explanation:

Assuming that the beginning equation is
(x)/(2) -(1)/(5) =(x)/(3) +(1)/(4)

First, we should find the common denominator of each of fractions. For all of these denominators, 60 is the smallest common denominator


(x)/(2)((30)/(30)) -(1)/(5)((12)/(12)) =(x)/(3)((20)/(20)) +(1)/(4) ((15)/(15)) \\\\(30x)/(60)-(12)/(60) =(20x)/(60)+(15)/(60)

Now, we can multiply each side by 60, which will remove the fractions


30x-12=20x+15

Now we can add 12 to each side


30x=20x+27

Now subtract 20x from each side


10x=27

And lastly, divide each side by 10


x=(27)/(10)
