Question

how would you solve 1/3+1/5=1/x

Answer 1

hmm correct me if im wrong but..

\[\large \frac{1}{x} = \frac 13 + \frac 15 \implies x = 3 + 5\]
right?

Answer 2

Is it:
\[\large \frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{x} ?\]

Answer 3

something is wrong igba

Answer 4

\[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x} \]\[\frac{8}{15}=\frac{1}{x}\]\[x=\frac{15}{8} \]

Answer 5

hmm yep something was wrong lol

Answer 6

if the q is like that then the answer shouldn't be an integer
1/3 + 1/5 = 5/15 +3/15 = 8/15
to make the numerator 1, divide it by 8
15/8 = 1.875

Answer 7

\[\frac{1*5}{3*5} +\frac{1*3}{5*3} =\frac{1}{x} => \frac{5+3}{15} = \frac{1}{x} => \frac{8}{15} =\frac{1}{x} => 8x= 15 => x=\frac{15}{8} \]

Answer 8

thanks guys :)
