You multiplied the five by the stuff in brackets but you were supposed to add the 3 on the bottom is a different story though. Understand?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5x-10/10x-20

You aren't supposed to multiply the 5 by whats in the brackets.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how can i solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
??

take away the brackets on the top around x-2 and simplify by grouping the numbers. It would look like this 5+x-2 and then to make it easier move the -2 next to the 5 and you get 5-2+x. Then for the bottom because it was 3x you have to multpily everything in the brackets by three. Then take away the brackets and simplify the part without the x.

3+x/13+3x
