Question 50736: solve for x:
(6-x)/3 + x/-5 = -7
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(6-x)/3 + x/-5 = -7
(-105)(6-x)/3 + (-105)x/-5 = (-105)(-7) [Multiply by a common factor = -105]
-35(6-x)+21x=735 [Cancel wherever possible]
-210+35x+21x=735
-210+56x=735
-210+210+56x=735+210
56x=945
x=16.875
.
Check by plugging x=16.875 back into the original equation.
