The LCD is 12. Thus, your

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes 12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36. Combining like terms,

-x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note: You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

Hi there!

$3 \sqrt{54} + 2 \sqrt{24} =$
First we split up the square root into two parts.

$3 \times \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{6} + 2 \times \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{6} =$
Now we calculate the value of the square roots which have an integer as a solution

$3 \times 3 \times \sqrt{6} + 2 \times 2 \times \sqrt{6} =$
Multiplying the integers gives us our next step.

$9 \sqrt{6} + 4 \sqrt{6} =$
And finally we add up the roots.

$13 \sqrt{6}$
