5/2x + 15/2 = 15 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it:\[\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x + \frac{ 15 }{2 } = 15\]OR\[\frac{ 5 }{ 2x } + \frac{ 15 }{ 2 } = 15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = −3 x = −1.5 x = 0 x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the answer choices though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me try it again. Perhaps I made a mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x + \frac{ 15 }{2 } = 15\] Subtract 15/2 from both sides.\[\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x = 15 - \frac{ 15 }{ 2 }\]Multiply both sides by 2.\[5x = 15 - 15 \]\[5x = 0\]\[x = 0\]^Thats better! (:
