Question

1/5(2x+1)-1/3(x-2)=x-24 whole 1/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=33.25

Step-by-step explanation:

As far as I understood, the question is:

1/5 (2x +1) - 1/3 ( x -2) = (x -24) 1/3

LCM of 5&3=15

so, 3(2x+1)/15 - 5(x -2)/15 = (x - 24) 1/3

= 6x +3 -5x + 10 = (x - 24) × 15/3 [ transposing 15 to RHS]

= 6x-5x +3+10= (x -24)×5

=> x + 13 = 5x - 120

combining the like terms:

13+120 =5x-x

133=4x

=> x= 133/4

=> x= 33.25
