2/5x � 6 = 12
.
(5x)(2/5x) � (5x)(6) = (5x)12 [multiply each term by the greatest common denominator (5x)and cancel wherever possible]
.
2-30x=60x
2=30x+60x
2=90x
2/90-90x/90
1/45=x
.
Check by plugging x=1/45 back into the original equation and solve:
2/5(x) � 6 = 12
2/5(1/45 � 6 = 12
2/(1/9) � 6} = 12
18-6=12
12=12 [checks out]
