� =
:
First get rid of the denominators by multiplying each term by a common denominator
10 would be a good one:
� =
:
Cancel out the denominators and you have:
2(x - 7) - 5(5) = x + 9
:
Multiply what's inside the brackets and you have:
2x - 14 - 25 = x + 9
:
Some basic algebra
2x - 39 = x + 9
2x - x = 9 + 39
x = +48
:
Check in original equation substitute 48 for x:
� =
:
� =
:
Change to a common denominator (10):
� =
