Can someone please help solve this problem 2/3=2-5x-3/x-1:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assume you mean:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3+=+2+-+%285x-3%29%2F%28x-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by the common denominator: 3(x-1); results:
\n" ); document.write( "2(x-1) = 2(3(x-1)) - 3(5x - 3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "do the multiplying to get rid of the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 2 = 6x - 6 - 15x + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "group like terms, x's on the left, no. on the right
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 6x + 15x = -6 + 9 + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"5%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you check the solution in the original equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
