How do you solve for x in this situation. 8/x+1/5=9/20

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

I'd start by subtracting 1/5 on both sides. After that, Multiply both sides by x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can solve it easily by multiplying all terms by 20x......... this will eliminate all the denominators and hence easier to solve...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But if you multiply everything by 20x all the denominators will be different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each denominator will get cancelled...
