Question

2x+4 over 3 - 5x-7 over 2 = 5 solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am interpreting this as:

(2x+4)/ 3 - (5x-7)/2 = 5

Multiply through by the LCM of 2 and 3 ( that is 6):

2(2x + 4) - 3(5x - 7) = 30

4x - 15x + 8 +21 = 30

-11x = 30 - 21 - 8

-11x = 1

x = -1/11.
