Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

$60+10x=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$4+\displaystyle \frac{2}{3} x=\frac{2}{5}$

To get rid of the fraction $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (the denominator):

$3(4+\displaystyle \frac{2}{3} x)=3(\frac{2}{5})\\\\3*4+\frac{3*2}{3}x =\frac{3*2}{5} \\\\12+2x =\frac{6}{5}$

To get rid of the fraction $\displaystyle \frac{6}{5}$, multiply both sides of the equation by 5 (the denominator):

$\displaystyle 5(12+2x) =5(\frac{6}{5})\\\\5*12+5*2x=\frac{5*6}{5} \\\\60+10x=6$

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

theleangreenbear has the correct answer, but it could be reduced from

60 + 10x = 6 to

30 + 5x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:  divide both sides by 2
