You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given to solve for x:
.
.
Clear the fractions by multiplying all terms on both sides by (5*6) as follows:
.
.
cancel the denominators with the same value in the corresponding numerator:
.
.
as a result of this procedure the equation becomes:
.
.
do the multiplications in each term and the result is:
.
.
get rid of the -10 on the left side by adding 10 to both sides. On the left side of the equation the -10 and the +10 cancel each other. On the right side this just adds 10 to 600. The equation is then:
.
.
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 18. The result is:
.
.
Do the division of 18 into 610 and you get the answer:
.
.
Hope this helps you to understand one way of clearing the fractions in an equation so that you can work the problem using integers.
