Solve
(3x + 5 / 6) - (2x - 4 / 5) = 3
%283x%2B5%29%2F6-%282x-4%29%2F5=3 The LCD is 6*5=30, multiply both sides of the equation by 30 to get rid of the fractions.
30%283x%2B5%29%2F6-30%282x-4%29%2F5=30%283%29
5%283x%2B5%29-6%282x-4%29=90
15x%2B25-12x%2B24=90
3x%2B49=90
3x%2B49-49=90-49
3x=41
3x%2F3=41%2F3
x=41%2F3
