Question

Solve each equation, this problem is 60a from the rsm homework

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation you should first find the LCD or least common denominator for 2 and 6

the LCD is 6

so you should multiply each side by six

$6 * \frac{x + 5}{2} + 6 * -\frac{x + 3}{6} = 6 * 1$

3x + 15 - x - 3 = 6

now combine like terms

2x + 12 = 6

now subtract both sides by 12

2x = -6

lastly divide everything by 2

x = -3

that is your answer
