You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
to Clear out the "pesty" denominators, multiply each term on both sides of the equation by 15 (this is commonly known as the "common denominator" for 3 and 5.

for ex and

.
combine like terms and solve
6x + 90 = 10x + 150
-60 = 4x
.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2/5x + 6 = 2/3x+10
--------------------------
(2/5)x-(2/3)x = 10-6
--------
[2/5 - 2/3]x = 4
---------
[(6-10)/15]x = 4
-----
(-4/15)x = 4
---
(-1/15)x = 1
x = -15
