Question 386712: x/9+2x/5=3

First, we want to get rid of the fractions in the equation.
We can do this by multiplying by the least common denominator, which is 45.
(x/9)*45+(2x/5)*45=3
5x+18x=3*45
Then, we can combine our x's and multiply the two numbers in the second half of the equation.
23x=135
Finally, we can divide both sides by 23 to isolate the variable.
x=5.869565217...
We can round this number to 5.87.
So, x is about 5.87.
