Question

2x-1/3 - 6x-2/5 = 1/3 and check it
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

, (2x-1)/3 – (6x-2)/5 = 1/3

By taking LCM for 3 and 5

which is 15 ((2x-1)×5)/15 – ((6x-2)×3)/15 = 1/3

(10x – 5)/15 – (18x – 6)/15 = 1/3

(10x – 5 – 18x + 6)/15 = 1/3

(-8x + 1)/15 = 1/3

By using cross-multiplication

we get,

(-8x + 1)3 = 15 -24x + 3

= 15 -24x = 15 – 3 -24x = 12 x

= -12/24 = -1/2

∴ x = -1/2
