+ =
:
factor out 5 in the 1st denominator:
+ =
:
Multiply equation by 5(x+2), and eliminate the denominators, leaving us with:
x + 5(x-3) = 7(x+2)
:
x + 5x - 15 = 7x + 14
x + 5x - 7x = 14 + 15
-x = +29
x = -29
:
:
Check solution, substitute -29 for x in the original equation:
+ =
+ =
+ =
Check using decimals
+.2148 + 1.1852 = 1.4 which is 7/5
