Answer:

\frac{8}{6} +\frac{-9}{5}  = \frac{-7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

To add these two fraccions we need them to have the same denominator. In order to do so, we calculate the least common multiple (LCM) by factorizing the original denominators, selecting both common (<u>raised to the highest power</u>) and not common factors.

6 = 2*3; 5 = 5

LCM (3, 5) = 2*3*5 = 30

Now we rewrite the two fractions with their new denominator (30) and we find the numerator by dividing the new denominator with the old one and multiplying that result by the old numerator. Thus:

  • To calculate the numerator of the 1st fraction -> (30/6)*8 = 40
  • To calculate the numerator of the 2nd fraction -> (30/5)*(-9) = -54

Getting this: \frac{40}{30} +\frac{-54}{30} =  \frac{-14}{30}

Now we simplify the fraction by dividing it by 2 (we can also calculate the GCD [Greatest common divisor] {which is calculated by choosing only the common factors (<u>unlike the LCM</u>}). Thus:

  • Simplifying the numerator: -14 / 2 = -7
  • Simplifying the denominator [text]30/2 = 15[/tex]

Now we have the simplest form: \frac{-7}{15}

I hope this was helpful.

5x-3-2x/7=24 solve for x
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

X=5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3-2x/7=24

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

5x-3-2x/7=24

Simplifying:

5x-3-0.285714285714x=24

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.  

+5x-0.285714285714x=+24+3

We simplify left and right side of the equation.  

+4.71428571429x=+27

We divide both sides of the equation by 4.71428571429 to get x.  

x=5.72727272727
