(x-1)/3+(x+5)/8 =-2

\frac{x - 1}{3} + \frac{x + 5}{8} = - 2

x = - 5

Solution steps

\frac{x - 1}{3} + \frac{x + 5}{8} = - 2

Multiply by LCM

8 (x - 1) + 3 (x + 5) = - 48

Expand

8 (x - 1) + 3 (x + 5) : 11 x + 7

11 x + 7 = - 48

Move

7

to the right side

11 x = - 55

Divide both sides by

11

x = - 5

6 p + 4 p + 3 = 7 (p - 2)

3 (x - 4) = - 2 (4 - x)

14 a = - 17

6 (x - 1) - 5 (x + 2) = - 14

2 - \frac{3}{4} (8 x - 6) = 11
