Question

Solve for x: 2 over 5 plus 3 over 5 x equals quantity x plus 5 over 10

Answer 1

whats the LMC?

Answer 2

LCM*

Answer 3

i don't know what that is

Answer 4

I'd multiply every term by 10x the common denominator of the 3 fractions

25×10x+35x×10x=x+510×10x


this can be simplified to

4x+6=x(x+5)


which is the same as

4x+6=x2+5x


or

x2+x−6=0


this is a quadratic that can be solved by factoring

hope this helps

Answer 5

lowest common multiple what is the lowest number 5,5,10 has in common

Answer 6

if x = 3

then (3 - 3) = 0

and 0 * (3 + 2) = 0

same for x = -2

substitute it and you get

(-2 -3)(-2 +2) = -5 * 0 = 0

Answer 7

thank you!

Answer 8

@makaylarrrrrr hope i helped

Answer 9

your welcome

Answer 10

multipy 2/5 by to make the denominater 5x
2x+3/5=x+5/10
cross multiply
10(2x+3)=5x(x+5)
20x+30=5x2+25x
-5x2-5x+30=0
-x2-x+6=0
x=-2 or 3
