Question

solve. x+2/15 + 3-x/5 = 2/3

Answer 1

x=1/2

Answer 2

let me show u

Answer 3

\[\frac{x+2}{15}+\frac{3-x}{5}=\frac{2}{3}\]first step is to get a common denominator
\[\frac{x+2}{15}+\frac{3\times(3-x)}{15}=\frac{5\times(2)}{15}\]
we can then multiply both sides of the equation by 15 and the denominators will go away
\[x+2+3\times(3-x)=5\times2\]
simplifying
\[x+2+9-3x=10\]\[11-2x=10\]\[11-10=2x\]\[1=2x\]\[1/2=x\]
