Question

x+5/2 +x/3= 20 solve and check your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 105/8

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5/2 + x/3 = 20

Subtract 5/2 from both sides of the equation

x + 5/2 + x/3 -5/2 = 20 - 5/2

Subtract the numbers we get,

x +  x/3  = 35/2

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

3 (x +  x/3 ) = 3 (35/2)

3x + 3x/3 = 3 x 35/2

3x + x = 3 x 35/2

Combine like terms

4x = 3 x 35/2

x = 105/8
