anonymous · Answer

(4/5x)+(4/3)=2x
-(4/5x)             -(4/5x)
(4/5x)=((1+1/5)x)
(4/3)(5/6)=((1+1/5)x)(5/6)
1+1/9=x

just like any fractions, when adding them you need to have a common denominator. What is the common denominator for 5,3, and 1 ?

texaschic101 · Answer

4/5x + 4/3 = 2x
multiply the entire equation by the LCD which is 15

12x + 20 = 30x -- subtract 12x from both sides
20 = 30x - 12x
20 = 18x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x turned into a mixed number = 1 1/9

If you multiply the equation by the LCD then it will get rid of the fractions...or you can deal with the fractions and do it the way sodukogirl did it.
