Question

(x-5)/2 - ( x+3)/5 = 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{(x - 5)}{2} - \frac{(x + 3)}{5} = \frac{1}{2}$

LCM of 2 and 5 is 10

$\frac{(5x - 25) - (2x + 6)}{10}$

$\frac{5x - 25 - 2x - 6}{10}$

we can solve by combining constant and variable

$\frac{3x - 31}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$

by cross multiply ❌

$\frac{2(3x - 31)}{1(10)} = \frac{6x - 62}{10}$
