Question 66880
3/4x-1/3x+=5/6x-5  LCM is 24x  so we'll first multiply every term by 24x

(24x/4x)(3)-24x/3x=(24x/6x)(5)-5(24x)  simplify

18-8=20-120x  subtract 20 from both sides
18-8-20=20-20-120x   collect like terms

-10=-120x  divide both sides by -120

x=10/120=1/12

ck

3/4(1/12)-1/3(1/12)=5/6(1/12)-5

9-4=10-5
5=5

Hope this helps----ptaylor
