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

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

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.5

Solution steps

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

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}

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

Multiply both sides by

5

10 x - (x + 3) = - \frac{15}{2}

Expand

10 x - (x + 3) : 9 x - 3

9 x - 3 = - \frac{15}{2}

Move

3

to the right side

9 x = - \frac{9}{2}

Divide both sides by

9

x = - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{x}{2} + 6 = 4

\frac{4 m}{14} = 18

\frac{x - 4}{8} - 5 = 0

26 - 4 x = 9 x

1 = \frac{3}{2} (2) + b
