Algebra.Com's Answer #237928 by CenturySimons(1)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 which is the least common denominator of both fractions. This will clear the equations of the fractions.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(5x+1)/6=(4x-1)/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6((5x+1)/6)=6((4x-1)/2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(5x+1)=3(4x-1)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Distribute the factor of 3 on the right to get\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+1=12x-3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Subtract 5x from and add 3 to both sides of the equation to get\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4=7x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to get\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4/7= x (SOUTION)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
