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

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

x = \frac{25}{4}

Decimal Notation

x = 6.25

Solution steps

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

Multiply by LCM

5 (x - 1) + 3 x = 45

Expand

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

8 x - 5 = 45

Move

5

to the right side

8 x = 50

Divide both sides by

8

x = \frac{25}{4}

- 39 + 5 b = 5 (b - 8)

2.25 (4 x - 4) = - 2 + 10 x + 12

6 + 3 x = 4 x - 3

8 = 4 w

x + 6 = 3 (5 - x)
