clear fractions, or cross-multiply
3(5x+6) = 7(3x-9)
15x+18 = 21x-63
...
the LCD is 3(3x-9), so let's multiply both sides by that
3(5x+6) = 7(3x-9)
this is often called "cross-multiplying"
15x + 18 = 21x - 63
-6x = - 81
x = -81/-6 = 13.5
To solve the equation 5x + (6 / 3x - 9) = 7 / 3, we need to first simplify both sides of the equation. Let's break down the steps to solve it.
Step 1: Simplify the equation by finding a common denominator for the fractions.
The common denominator for the fractions on both sides of the equation is 3x - 9, since it's the denominator of the fraction on the left side. Multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction on the right side by (3x - 9) to get a common denominator.
5x + (6 / 3x - 9) = (7 / 3)
5x + (6 * (3x - 9)) / (3x - 9) = (7 / 3)
Simplifying the right side:
5x + (18x - 54) / (3x - 9) = 7 / 3
Step 2: Combine like terms on the left side.
Combine the 5x and the 18x terms:
5x + 18x - 54 / (3x - 9) = 7 / 3
23x - 54 / (3x - 9) = 7 / 3
Step 3: Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominators to eliminate fractions.
Multiply both sides by (3x - 9):
(3x - 9)(23x - 54) / (3x - 9) = (3x - 9)(7 / 3)
Simplifying the left side:
23x - 54 = 7(3x - 9) / 3
Step 4: Distribute on the right side:
Distribute 7/3 to both 3x and -9:
23x - 54 = (7(3x) - 7(9)) / 3
23x - 54 = (21x - 63) / 3
Step 5: Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction.
Multiply both sides by 3:
3(23x - 54) = 3((21x - 63) / 3)
Simplifying both sides:
69x - 162 = 21x - 63
Step 6: Isolate the x variable on one side of the equation.
Move the constant terms to the right side by adding 162 to both sides:
69x - 162 + 162 = 21x - 63 + 162
Simplifying both sides:
69x = 21x + 99
Step 7: Move the 21x term to the left side by subtracting 21x from both sides:
69x - 21x = 21x + 99 - 21x
Simplifying both sides:
48x = 99
Step 8: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 48:
(48x) / 48 = (99) / 48
Simplifying both sides:
x = 99 / 48
This is the final solution for x, which can be simplified further if needed.
