Question

Solve for "x" - 2x-1/2 - x-5/3 = 5/4

Answer 1

Answer:

For this equation the answer is : $x=\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, We'll have to take the LCM of the denominators as usual.

Here, The deniominators are : $2$ and $3.$

LCM = $2 × 3 = 6$

Now we can solve our equation:

$\frac{3(2x-1)}{6} -\frac{2(x-5)}{6} =\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{(6x-3)-(2x-10)}{6} =\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{4x+7}{6} = \frac{5}{4}$

$4x+7=7.5$

$4x=\frac{1}{2}$

$x=\frac{1}{8}$
