Given: 2X%2F5+%2B+1%2F3+=+7X+-+2%2F15
15 is the lcd. Convert the other fractions to have a denominator of 15
3%2A%282X%29%2F15+%2B+5%2F15+=+7X+-+2%2F15 Multiply everything by 15
6X+%2B+5+=+105X+-+2 Subtract 6X from both sides
5+=+99X+-+2 Add 2 to both sides
7+=+99X Divide both sides by 99
highlight%287%2F99+=+X%29
or highlight_green%280.0707+=+X%29
