Question

x/2-3/5=3/2 ~ ok, I understand that I have to start off by determining the LCD, but I'm lost after that. I need to solve for x.

Answer 1

what's your LCD?

Answer 2

I believe it's 10

Answer 3

yes it is, now multiply this by entire equation like this:
\[10(x/2) - 10(3/5) = 10*3/2\]

Answer 4

the equation reduces to this:
5x-6=15,
can you proceed from here?

Answer 5

your gonna hate me ~ but I'm still lost on the first stuff you posted. I'm 49 years old & this is my first ever algebra. I'm sorry

Answer 6

OK, from first part of your equation, there is an LCD of 10 multiplied by x/2, right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

I don't understand how to multiply x/2

Answer 9

well you just cancel by the 2 and it reduces as such
