Question

solve the following linear equation

x/2- 1/5= x/3+ 1/4




​

Answer 1

Answer :

x/2- 1/5= x/3+ 1/4

x/2- x/3= 1/4 + 1/5

(3x - 2x)/6 = (5 + 4)/20

x/6 = 9/20

both sides multiplication by 6

x/6 *6 = 9/20 *6

x = 2.7

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2-1/5 = x/3 + 1/4

5x-2/10 = 4x + 3/12

12(5x-2) = 10 (4x + 3)

60x-24 = 40x + 30

60x-40x = 30 + 24

20x = 54

x = 54/20

x = 27/10 or 2.7
