Use the equation tab to put in your question in the correct form so I can help you please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to do this... uhmm.. it's like: 3x - 1, all over 5 plus 4-5x, allover 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For division, use the / sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[(3x-1)/5] + [(4-5x)/6]\] is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the question asking you to solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. i'm thinking maybe you'll think it's 3x-1/5 instead of 3x-1 allover 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not to look for x just to perform the operation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, find your common denominator. Post that when you have it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm really bad at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30 is the lcd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm worse at fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right! So your next step would look like: \[{[6(3x - 1)]/30} + {[5(4-5x)/30]}\]
