x + 5/8 + 3x/4 =2/3 +5x Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I recommend that you clear the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCD, which is 24. That will clear the fractions and make it easier to solve.
Subtract 120x from each side:
Divide both sides by -78:
That's UGLY! But that's what I got!! You had better check my math, because I make a LOT of mistakes, and it's getting LATE!!
