Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 + 1/5

You first,

Find the L. C. M, i hope u know the full name, if u don't, let me know in the comment section.
the L. C. M is 15
therefore it will be 10+3/15
13/15

$\textbf{a)}\\\\~~~~~~~x(3x-4)=5\\\\\implies 3x^2 -4x = 5\\\\\implies 3x^2 -4x=5\\\\\implies x^2 - \dfrac 43 x = \dfrac 53\\ \\\implies x^2 - 2\cdot \dfrac 23 \cdot x + \left( \dfrac 23 \right)^2 - \left( \dfrac 23 \right)^2 = \dfrac 53\\\\\implies \left(x-\dfrac 23 \right)^2 = \dfrac 53 + \dfrac 49\\\\\implies \left(x-\dfrac 23 \right)^2= \dfrac{19}{9}\\\\\implies x- \dfrac 23 = \pm\dfrac{\sqrt{19}}3\\\\\implies x=\dfrac 23 \pm\dfrac{\sqrt{19}}3\\\\$

$\text{The solutions are irrational.}\\\\\\\textbf{b)}\\\\~~~~~~~(3x-2)^2 = \dfrac 14\\\\\implies 3x -2 = \pm \dfrac 12\\\\\implies 3x = 2\pm \dfrac 12\\\\\implies x = \dfrac 23 \pm \dfrac 16\\\\ \implies x = \dfrac 56 ,~~ x =\dfrac 12 \\ \\\text{The solutions are rational .}$
