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