Question

What is the value of x? 3/5x – 1/3 x = x – 1

Answer 1

The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 15.
9x - 5x = 15x - 15
Collect all of the like terms on the left side of the equals sign.
4x = 15x - 15
Move the variable to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
4x - 15x = -15
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation for the second time.
-11x = -15
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by -11 to get your final answer.
$\frac{15}{11}$
This means that the correct answer to your question is $\frac{15}{11}$,, or 1$\frac{4}{11}$ simplified.
