Question 79191: solve 2/5x -6=12
Answer by bubblz190(11)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, you want to get a nice problem with no denominators, so you can multiply each part of the problem by 5.
2x - 30 = 60
And then you can add 30 to each side.
2x - 30 + 30 = 60 + 30
2x = 90
Then if you divide each side by 2, you find x.
2x / 2 = 90 / 2
x = 45
To check your answer you put 45 in the place of x.
2/5(45) - 6 = 12
18 - 6 = 12
