Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:
Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:
We can now cancel out (x+2)
Next we factor out even more:
We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:
And we can now simplify it to:
Answer: x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6 + 3x) + 1 = - 5 + 3(x - 1)
(2) (6) + (2) (3x) + 1 = -5 + (3) (x) + (3) (-1)
12 + 6x + 1 = - 5 + 3x + - 1
( 6x ) + ( 12 - 1 ) = ( 3x ) + ( -5 + -3 )
6x + 13 = 3x - 8
6x + 13 - 3x = 3x - 8 - 3x
3x + 13 = -8
3x + 13 - 13 = -8 - 13
3x = -21
3x/3 -21/3
X = -7
First you take 15/10 and see that you can take 5 out of the top and bottom, so it would become 3/2. Now you have 2 3/2. 2 goes into 3 once with 1 remainder so 3/2= 1 1/2
So then you take the original 2 and add it to 1 1/2. The answer is now 3 1/2
