Math Problem Statement
2x/3 + 1=7x/15 + 3
Solution
Let's solve the equation:
Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator
The least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 15 is 15. Multiply every term by 15 to eliminate the denominators.
This gives:
Simplify the terms:
Step 2: Move all terms involving to one side
Subtract from both sides:
Step 3: Move the constant term to the other side
Subtract 15 from both sides:
Step 4: Solve for
Divide by 3:
