i know how to do the step I'm just not sure if im correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }x + \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 6 }x -\frac{ 2 }{ 6 }\]

You need to find the least common denominator but multiplying the top and the bottom by 6 on the left, and 5 on the right So it'll look like this: \[6(\frac{ x+1 }{ 5 })=5(\frac{ 2x-2 }{ 6 })\] It will come out looking like this: \[\frac{ 6x+6 }{ 30 }=\frac{ 10x-10 }{ 30 }\] Then you multiply eveeeeerything by 30, which cancels out the denominators and leaves you with 6x+6=10x-10 Combine like terms until you find what x equals, tell me what you get. :) Or i can show you if youre still stuck!
