Question

Please help :)
Solve for x:
(4x-3)/5-(2x-3)/2=-2

Answer 1

\[\huge \frac{ 4x-3 }{ 5 } - \frac{ 2x-3 }{ 2 } = -2\]
get a common denominator..
\[\huge \frac{ 8x-6 }{ 10 } - \frac{ 10x-15 }{ 10 } = -2\]
do it from here..

Answer 2

\[\huge \frac{ 8x-6-(10x-15) }{ 10 } = -2\]
you have to distribute the -1 btw.
