Question 828180
One in the same form was asked not more than a couple of days ago and was answered; and the equation was mis-stated.


Most likely meant is {{{((x+5)/2)-((x-5)/5)=4/5}}}.
-
LCD is 10.
{{{10(x+5)/2-10(x-5)/5=4(10)/5}}}
{{{5(x+5)-2(x-5)=8}}}
{{{5x+25-2x+10=8}}}
{{{3x+35=8}}}
{{{3x=8-35=-27}}}
{{{3x=-27}}}
{{{x=-9}}}


If you stated the equation exactly how it was meant or written in your material, then although the shown steps may be different, this solution here should still be helpful.
