Question

What is the solution to the equation One-third (x minus 2) = one-fifth (x + 4) + 2? x = 12 x = 14 x = 16 x = 26

Answer 1

x=26

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 26

Explanation:

1 / 3 (x - 2) = 1 / 5 (x + 4) + 2

1/3x - 2/3 = 1/5x + 4/5 + 2

1/3x - 1/5x = 4/5 + 2/3 + 2

(5x - 3x)/15 = (12 + 10 + 30) / 15

2x / 15 = 52 / 15

2x = 52

x = 52 / 2

x = 26
