SOLUTION: (1/3)(x-6)=(-2/5)x+(14/15) Multiply thru by 15 to get: 5(x-6)=-6x+14 5x-30=-6x+14 11x=44 x=4 So what I've done is: 1/3x-2=-2/5x+14/15 +2 ----------- ------ 1/3x=-2/5x

Question 50903: (1/3)(x-6)=(-2/5)x+(14/15)
Multiply thru by 15 to get:
5(x-6)=-6x+14
5x-30=-6x+14
11x=44
x=4
So what I've done is:
1/3x-2=-2/5x+14/15
+2
------------------
1/3x=-2/5x+44/15
From here I don't know what to do. I'm terrible at fractions!
