\n" ); document.write( "x+7/3 = 37/15 - x-2/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can multiply throughout by highest denominator in the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "The highest denominator is 15 according to your equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore multiplying the equation throughout by 15 will be-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(15)+7/3(15) = 37/15* 15 - x(15)- 2/5*15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reason why we do this is to be able to turn the equation to linear in order to ease further simplification. 99.9% of time,In order to solve equation of this type our first goal will be to make the equation linear but by applying true properties.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will become-
\n" ); document.write( "15x+35= 37- 15x -6
\n" ); document.write( "15x+15x = 37-35-6 (by collecting like terms)
\n" ); document.write( "30x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "x= -(4/30) (by dividing both sides by 30)
\n" ); document.write( "x= -(2/15).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.\r
