Question

Solve 2/5x = -3/15 + 1/x

Answer 1

help anyone????

Answer 2

Just to be clear, is the first term \[\frac{2}{5x}\text{ or }\frac{2}{5}x\]

Answer 3

2/5x first one right

Answer 4

first you need to get all x terms in one side so you can solve for it

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5x } - \frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ -3 }{ 15 }\] can you do it from there?

Answer 6

whats the steps

Answer 7

you need to find a common denominator so you can subtract 2/5x - 1/x

Answer 8

\[ \frac{2}{5x}-\frac{1}{x}=-\frac{3}{15}\\
\, \\
\frac{2}{5x}-\frac{5}{5x}=-\frac{3}{15}
\\ \, \\

\frac{2-5}{5x}=-\frac{3}{15}\\
\, \\
\frac{-3}{5x}=-\frac{3}{15}\\
\, \\
-3(15)=-3(5x)\\
\,\\
45=15x
\\ \, \\
x=3\]
