Thats easy! :P

Step by Step?

Answer 2

Or all at once?

Answer 3

And welcome to open study!

Answer 4

i just want to know what i multiply. I know i need a common denominator but when i multiply what all do i multiply. And thanks :)

Answer 5

Multiply through by x-5, remembering that x=5 can never be a solution to this equation from the start:

7(x-5)/3 - 3 = 19(x-5)/12

Multiply through by 12:

28(x-5) - 36 = 19(x-5)

Expand:
28x - 140 - 36 = 19x - 95
Collect like terms:
9x = 81

x = 9

Answer 6

This a good way to explain it?

Answer 7

12 in the denominator.

Answer 8

So multiply everything by 12

Answer 9

Alright i think i get it. My teacher isn't the best at explaining so i normally teach myself this stuff. so thanks so much :)
