Question

Answer 1

\[\frac{x}{\frac{4-2}{3}}=x+5\]

Is this right?

Answer 2

no (x)(4)-(2)(3)=x+5

Answer 3

so you're multiplying everything? that is, no division?

Answer 4

Or is it like \[{x \over 4} - {2 \over 3} = x+5\]

Answer 5

yes like that

Answer 6

-68 = 9x, so x= - 68/9

Answer 7

how do you get 68

Answer 8

Hmm, this is what I would do:
Find the least common multiple (aka least common denominator) of the entire equation.
Then multiply this number to each term, even on the right side of the equation.
Solving for x would probably look a lot easier by then.
