2.5/x=10/3
\n" ); document.write( "7.5=10x multiply each side by 3x (LCM) to eliminate fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "x=.75
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Another way:
\n" ); document.write( "2 1/2 = 5/2
\n" ); document.write( "5/2 / x = 5/2 * 1/x = 5/2x
\n" ); document.write( "5/2x = 10/3
\n" ); document.write( "15=20x multiply each side by 6x (LCM) to eliminate fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "x=.75
