Question

Solve the following linear equation:
I will put the equation below.
I think where I am going wrong is finding a least common denominator to try to get rid of the denominator.

Answer 1

Ok, well let's see what you have done so far.

Answer 2

So I factored the denominators to be (2x-5)(x+0), x, and 2(x-5)

Answer 3

2x^2 - 5x -> x(2x-5)
4x - 10 -> 2(2x-5)

Answer 4

ohh okay, that would make a lot more sense than (x+0) haha

Answer 5

=0)

Answer 6

okay let me work through it again and see what i get. I'll tag you when im done or if i have questions :)

Answer 7

Okay, @Cosmichaotic i'm still doing something wrong.. haha.
Would the LCD be 2x(2x-5)?

Answer 8

Yea, I think so!

Answer 9

You gotta make each denominator = 2x(2x-5) by multiplying the numerators by the missing components of that denominator.

Answer 10

If I remember correctly.

Answer 11

we were told to multiply the LCD by the numerator and cancel the denominators out, so that you aren't dealing with fractions

Answer 12

That's a good way to do it.
