Part 1: Explain how you calculate the restricted value(s) of x for the equation the fraction the binomial x plus 3 over the binomial x plus 5 plus the fraction x over 6 equals the fraction 5 over 6 and what those value(s) represent.

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{x+3}{x+5}+\frac{x}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$$Is this where we are starting?

anonymous · Answer

yes :D

anonymous · Answer

The restricted value is x can't be -5; if it is, the first denominator will be zero.  Do you need to solve the problem?

i need to explain which method (cross-multiplication or LCD) you would use to solve the equation and why and also explain the steps to solve the equation using the method you chose in step 2.then i provide the solution to the equation :/ can you help me?

This question should be asked in the mathematics section, and not the feedback section. Thanks.

anonymous · Answer

oh i didnt notice it was in the feedbck section :(

anonymous · Answer

I would move the second term to the RHS.  That would give$$\frac{x+3}{x+5}=\frac{5-x}{6}$$From there, I would use the cross-multiplication method.
