3/5(x+1)-x/2=3
\n" ); document.write( "(3x+3)/5-x/2=3 add the two fractions after finding the common denominator (10)
\n" ); document.write( "[2(3x+3)-5x]/10=3 now cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "2(3x+3)-5x=3*10
\n" ); document.write( "6x+6-5x=30
\n" ); document.write( "x=30-6
\n" ); document.write( "x=24 answer.
\n" ); document.write( "24+1=25 answer.
