Question

x/3-2/9=2/5(x+17/3)

Answer 1

x/3-2/9=2/5(x+17/3)
\[\frac{3x-2}{9}=\frac{2}{5}*\frac{(3x+17)}{3}\]
\[\frac{3x-2}{9}=\frac{6x+34}{15}\]

Answer 2

ok your loosing me, I am confused now

Answer 3

\[15(3x-2)=9(6x+34)\]
\[45x-30=54x+306\]
\[9x=-336\]
\[x=-336/9\]
\[x=-112/3\]

Answer 4

ok i get it now

Answer 5

(x/3)-(2/9) = (2x/5)+(34/15)
(3x-2)/9 =(2x/5)+(34/15)
3x-2 = 9[(2x/5)+(34/15)]
3x-2 = (18x/5)+(102/5)
3x-2 = (18x+102)/5
5(3x-2) = 18x+102
15x-10 = 18x-102
15x-18x = 102+10
-3x = 112
x = 112/-3
x = -112/3

Answer 6

mathematicalpro - could you explain what you did at each step please? I'm afraid I don't understand fractions well at all... I'd love to know how you worked your magic. As of right now I am SUPER CONFUSED. :/
