2x-3/3 + 5-x/2 = 3

anonymous · Answer

brake it down into small equations Best way for me to figure it out.

2x-3   and  5-x  are the denominators, right? I mean like this,

$\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf     \frac{2x-3}{3}+ \frac{5-x}{2} =3}$

right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

solomonzelman · Answer

$\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf      \frac{(2x-3)}{3} + \frac{(5-x)}{2}=3 }$


$\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf      \frac{(2x-3) \color{red} {   \times 2      } }{3 \color{red} {   \times 2      }  } + \frac{(5-x) \color{red} {   \times 3      }  }{2 \color{red} {   \times 3      } }=3 }$


$\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf      \frac{4x-6}{6} + \frac{15-3x}{6}=3 }$


$\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf      \frac{4x-6}{6} + \frac{15-3x}{6}=\frac{18}{6} }$

what would your next step be ?
