Question

Can you help me solve?
10/3x + 4/3 = 7 + x/2x

anonymous · Answer

First find common denominators to make each side a single fraction, and then cross multiply.  Alternatively, multiply each side by $x$.

lcm of 3x,3 and 2x is 6x
multiply through by 6x:
20 + 8x = 42x + 3x
37x = 20
x = 20/37

anonymous · Answer

is it x= 17/5x?

anonymous · Answer

cwrw238,
But what does 20/37 have in common? Because the multiple choices are:
x= 1/3
x= 17/5x
x= 1/5
x= 1/6 (is this the answer)?

cwrw238 · Answer

lets make sure i've have got the correct question
maybe the right side of equation is (7+ x)/2x?

cwrw238 · Answer

the way its been written is ambiguous

anonymous · Answer

yes, 10/3x + 4/3 equals 7 + x/ 2x

cwrw238 · Answer

ok so

20 + 8x =  21 + 3x
5x = 1
x = 1/5
