Question

5/(2x+6) - 2= (1-8x)/4x ?

Answer 1

First take the LCM on both sides and solve for x you will get x= 1/3

Answer 2

Multiply -2 by 4x/4x

Answer 3

\(\frac{5}{2x+6} - \frac{8x}{4x} = \frac{1-8x}{4x}\)

Answer 4

Add 8x/4x to both sides:

\(\frac{5}{2x+6} = \frac{1-8x}{4x} + \frac{8x}{4x}\)

Answer 5

\(\frac{5}{2x+6} = \frac{1}{4x}\)

Answer 6

20x = 2x + 6
20x - 2x = 6
18x = 6

x = \(\frac{6}{18}\)

x = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
