Answer 2

multiply everything by 15 to get 12x+20x=30x

Answer 3

i mean 12x+20=30x oops

Answer 4

subtract 12x to get 20=18x

Answer 5

i got x=10/9

Answer 6

that is correct

Answer 7

how did you get that

Answer 8

idk i might be wrong

Answer 9

20=18x

divide by 18 to get:

20/18=x

or

10/9=x

Answer 10

yea but how did you get 20=18x

Answer 11

look at my previous work to see how I got to 20=18x

Answer 12

@Bill_Cipher and @sarina.lara just step by step - @lina17 not have asked for answer directly he wan learning how need solving same exercises - ok ?

Answer 13

@lina17 the first step you need get what will be the common denominator - ok. ?

Answer 14

comen please i like learn you how you can solve same exercises

Answer 15

do you like it ?

Answer 16

i want to know how to do it step by step

Answer 17

so than answer this my first question please

Answer 18

how do i get a common denominator

Answer 19

well sometimes the fastest way to get a common denominator is to multiply the denominators of the fractions in this case 5*3=15 so 15 is a common denominator

Answer 20

oh okay

Answer 21

4/5 x + 4/3 = 2x

Bill but dont forget it the right side there is again one denominator - yes ?

Answer 22

yeah sorry

Answer 23

so was that wrong

Answer 24

no just there is a 2/1 multiplying the x and so for future reference jhonyy9 is pointing out that there could be a fraction on both sides of the equation.

If this happens then you would multiply all of the denominators together

Answer 25

oh okay

Answer 26

after multiplying by a common denominator all the fractions should be gone.

In this case with 4/5x+4/3=2x what do you get when you multiply by the common denominator?
