Question

i need help again

Answer 1

Score:

Perform the indicated operation.
\[\frac{ x+5 }{ 3 }-\frac{ x-3 }{ 2}\]

Answer 2

@galacticwavesXX

Answer 3

to make this easier
cancel out the fractions

Answer 4

EXAMPLE
2 5
[ --- + --- ] 4 DISTRIBUTE
4 2

2 + ( 5) 2 SIMPLIFY

2 + 10= 12

Answer 5

shouldn't you have a like denominator first then simplify and solve for the problem @iforgot

Answer 6

will someone explame

Answer 7

like \[\frac{ 2(x+5)-3(x-3) }{ 6 }\]

Answer 8

it is to make it easier

but you can do it that way also

Answer 9

you get the same answer

Answer 10

ohh ok just making sure

Answer 11

Answer 12

what are you confused about?

Answer 13

ill just hand it to galactic :)

Answer 14

wuill u take me step by step tho it

Answer 15

ok so first you must look at both fractions and see if they are like denominators or not

in your case they are 2 and 3 so in order to continue further in the problem you must have make the denominators the same

Answer 16

then you have \[\frac{ 2(x+5) }{ 2(3) }-\frac{ 3(x-3) }{ 3(2) }\]

after this distribute the top and multiply the bottom
you get:
\[\frac{ 2x+10 }{ 6 }-\frac{ 3x-9 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 17

you understand this so far correct?

Answer 18

yes :)

Answer 19

ok so then next you simplify the expression and you get \[\frac{ 19-x }{6 }\]. how the other guy got 12 idk

Answer 20

that was an example

Answer 21

i wrote it in caps also -.-

Answer 22

hahaha i didn't even see that till know the brackets were too large
