Question

I am not able to understand this question because x = 5 - 7/3 but how did it change into x = 15 - 7/3.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x + 2 \frac{1}{3} = 5 \\ x + \frac{7}{3} = 5 \\ \frac{x}{1} + \frac{7}{3} = 5 \\ \frac{3x + 7}{3} = 5 \\ 3x + 7 = 5 \times 3 \\ 3x + 7= 15 \\ 3x = 15 - 7 \\ 3x = 8 \\ x = \frac{8}{3} \\x = 2 \frac{2}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

it will be because while taking the LCM, 5 will get multiplied by 3 so it will give 15. hope it helps..
