𝑥−2/2+ 4𝑥−4/5= 2 −3𝑥+6/10

1 answer

The given equation is:

(x - 2)/2 + (4x - 4)/5 = 2 - 3x + 6/10

To solve this equation, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions on both sides. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 5, and 10 is 10. Multiplying each term by 10, we get:

5(x - 2) + 2(4x - 4) = 20 - 30x + 6

Simplifying this equation gives us:

5x - 10 + 8x - 8 = 26 - 30x

Combining like terms, we have:

13x - 18 = 26 - 30x

Moving all the variables to one side and constants to the other side:

43x = 44

Dividing both sides by 43, we get:

x = 44/43

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 44/43.
