yes

Answer 3

is that all of the equation?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

I don't think you can solve, but rather just simplify

Answer 6

how though

Answer 7

as phi said, there's no = sign

Answer 16

anybody out there speak english? I do not understand what jdoe0001 means

Answer 17

looks to me like a cross multiplication problem

Answer 18

@jdoe0001 is saying that in order to solve for \(x\) we need an equals sign. You just gave an expression, not an equation.

Answer 19

but it is an addition problem

Answer 20

hmmm

Answer 21

I am not trying to solve for x. I just need to simplify x/3+2/5

Answer 22

cross multiply then add, but i get what you guys are saying about their not being an equals sign =/

Answer 23

This is only Algebra 1 people. What does x6 stand for?

Answer 24

\(\bf \cfrac{x}{3}+\cfrac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{}{LCD=15}\implies \cfrac{(15\div 3)x+(15\div5)2}{15}\)

Answer 25

\[\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5*3}+\dfrac{2*3}{5*3}=\dfrac{5x+6}{15}\]

Answer 26

How about another question?

Answer 27

hopefully it makes sense :)
