SOLUTION: how are you? My first question is #10. ax/b + cx/d = e
and #11 a/bx + c/d=e; for both of them i need to solve for X. i dont know how to really disect this problem to solve for X,

: how are you? My first question is #10. ax/b + cx/d = e
and #11 a/bx + c/d=e; for both of them i need to solve for X. i dont know how to really disect this problem to solve for X, dont know each step for this complex fraction equation. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! My first question is #10. ax/b + cx/d = e
and #11 a/bx + c/d=e; for both of them i need to solve for X.
------------------
10. ax/b + cx/d = e
Multiply by bd to eliminate fractions
adx + bcx = bde
x*(ad + bc) = bde that's all you can do, no further simplification is possible.
----------
11. a/bx + c/d=e
There's more than one way to go at this, but you get the same answer.
a/bx = e - c/d
a/bx = (de-c)/d
Invert
bx/a = d/(de-c)
bx = ad/(de-c)
