Plz Help im a little confused on the steps: Solve each equation by multiplying both sides by the LCD X+1/3x-2 = 5x-4/3x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand the concept of LCD?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i tried that but for some reason it gives me the wrong answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great. It is the same when doing Algebra. In the equation you show the LCD would be (3x-2)(3x+2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if a multiply both sides by (3x-2)(3x+2)..what do I end up with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x(squared) -6x +4 i believe, sorry dont know how to square on a computer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i just saw that the 6's cancelled out
