Question

Help! Clear the fractions

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - $\frac{27}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5}{6}$ x + 2 = $\frac{7}{8}$

Multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 6 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

20x + 48 = 21 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

20x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = - $\frac{27}{20}$
