Question

Solve each equation and check each solution


(x-3)/5+ (X-2)/2=1/2

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

$$\Huge \frac {x-3}{5} + \frac {x-2}{2}=\frac1{2}$$

Answer 3

yes that`s the question I asked sir

Answer 4

Recall that when adding or subtracting fractions you rewrite the fractions using their least common denominator.

Answer 5

yes LCD IS 10

Now I am on this step 2x-15+5x-10=5 than what?

Answer 6

$$\Huge 2x-6+5x-10=5$$

Answer 7

not -15

Answer 8

yea that`s where i made mistake let me see if i can handle from there thanks for your time

Answer 9

Thanks for asking and trying to understand.

Answer 10

no problem no i get stack

Answer 11

like terms

Answer 12

i meant now

Answer 13

yep

Answer 14

i have 7x-6-10=5

so i ADD 6 on both sides isn`t it

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

so i get 7x-4=11

Add 4 it give me 7x=15

Answer 17

is that how i was supposed to do

Answer 18

wait...your -10 turned into a -4 for no reason

Answer 19

ok please show me how you would finish

Answer 20

2x-6+5x-10=5

Answer 21

$$\Huge 7x-6-10=5$$ $$\Huge 7x-16=5$$

Answer 22

how do you get 16 since you have 2x-6+5x-10=5 you are right but please tell me how you get -16

Answer 23

$$\Huge 7x-6-10=5$$ $$\Huge 7x+(-6)+(-10)=5$$ $$\Huge 7x+(-16)=5$$ $$\Huge 7x-16 =5$$

Answer 24

$$\Huge a-b= a+(-b)$$ $$\Huge \text{To subtract b, add the opposite of b}$$

Answer 25

ok thank so much you really helpful

Answer 26

i do appreciate your time

Answer 27

So what is the solution set?

Answer 28

3 which is what you get sir

Answer 29

7x-16=5

Add 16 on both sides

7x=21

divide 7x


x=3

Answer 30

Yes, now what number makes the equation x = 3 a true statement?

Answer 31

What number would you replace x with to make a true statement?

Answer 32

7(3)-16 =5 is that ok

Answer 33

Sure, also x = 3 is obviously true when x is replaced by 3, this gives 3 = 3, right?

Answer 34

yes thank you so much

Answer 35

What you did is ok too, since 21-16 =5 and 5 = 5.

Answer 36

today was my first day here I really find it helpful

Answer 37

Take the value of 3 and substitute it in the ORIGINAL equation for x, to see if you get a true statement. This is the best way to check for errors :)

Answer 38

Solve each equation and check each solution

Answer 39

you mean the original where ever i see X put 3

Answer 40

Yes,you are exactly correct.

Answer 41

ok let me see if I can do it

Answer 42

Exactly i get it 5=5

Answer 43

Therefore the solution set is {3}.

Answer 44

yes sir

Answer 45

Thank you so much I would let you go I really appreciate spending you precious time

Answer 46

so where are you from and where do live now?
