Question

x+7/10=2/5+x-7/3

Answer 1

so the lcd is 30

Answer 2

\[\frac{x+7}{10} = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{x-7}{3}\]

Answer 3

@Mandy86, is that the given equation?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Okay, so subtract 2/5 from both sides to get

\[\frac{x+7}{10} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{x-7}{3}\]

Now multiply 2/5 by 2/2

Let me know what you get afterwards

Answer 6

4/10

Answer 7

So now you have

\[\frac{x+7}{10} - \frac{4}{10} = \frac{x-7}{3}\]

Combine fractions on the left side. Let me know what you get.

Answer 8

Stuck?

Answer 9

When you combine fractions, you'll end up with

\[\frac{x+7 -4 }{10} = \frac{x-7}{3}\]

Which simplifies to

\[\frac{x+3 }{10} = \frac{x-7}{3}\]

From there, you cross multiply. Can you do that?
