Answer:
2x/3 + 2= 7x/15+3
L.C.M.=15 ; 15 x 2x/3 + 15 x 2 = 15 x 7x/15 + 15 x 3
5(2x) + 30= 7x + 45
10x + 30= 7x + 45
10x - 7x= 45 - 30
3x = 15 (NOTE: we are looking 4 x and not 3x, so we divide both sides by 3)
3x/3= 15/3 = x: x = 5
Step-by-step explanation: linear equation, u first deal with the fraction by finding the LCM(15) and cancel through with it. Group like terms and add/subtract to get your answer(5)
NOTE: in linear equation, whatever u do to the right handside, u do the same to the left.
In linear equations involving fractions, u first tackle the fractions by finding the least common multiple(LCM)
