Question 100222: I need your help evaluating the expression: 4 2 17 1
--- - --- = --- If X = --
X X 5 5

Is 1/5 a solution?
Please show me how to work this.
four over x minus two over x equals 17 over 5 If x equals one-fifth.

4/x-2/x=17/5
multiply 5x times both sides to get rid of fractions: 20-10=17x
17x=10
divide 17 into each side: x=10/17
