Question 507612
{{{(5/4)x+(2/3)x=1/3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12((5/cross(4))x+(2/cross(3))x)=12(1/cross(3))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{12}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{15x+8x=4}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{23x=4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(4)/(23)}}} Divide both sides by {{{23}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=4/23}}}
