Question

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

Answer 1

15x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{aligned}\rm\frac{3}{4}x-2&=\rm \frac{2}{5}\to(multiplied~by~20)\\\rm(20)\frac{3}{4}x-(20)2&=(20)\frac{2}{5}\\\rm 15x-40&=8\\\rm 15x&=8+40\\\rm 15x&=48\end{aligned}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{15}{20} x-2=\frac{8}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x-2=\frac{2}{5}$

3/4 and 2/5 have a common denominator which is twenty so you can rewrite the equation with just knowing that

$\frac{3}{4} =\frac{15}{20}$

$\frac{2}{5} =\frac{8}{20}$

$\frac{15}{20} x-2=\frac{8}{20}$

You can then multiply both sides by twenty to solve this equation.

Hope this helps.
