\(\large \dfrac{4}{5}+\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{2}\) like this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

As a start multiply through out by \(5*x*2\) so that fraction disappear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think i know what you mean but not sure how to do it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \dfrac{4}{5}+\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{2}\) multiply \(5*x*2\) through out and get \(\large 4(x*2) +3(5*2)=1(5*x) \) simplify \(\large 8x+30=5x \) see if you can take it from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract -8x 30=-3x x=-10

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Looks good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
