First, we distribute the fractions into the parentheses:
32(3x)−32(5)−53(2x)+53(3)=3 2x−310−56x+59=3 Next, we want to combine the x terms and the constant terms. (2x−56x)+(59−310)=3 To combine the x terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 1 and 5 is 5, so we have: 2x=510x 510x−56x=54x To combine the constant terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 5 and 3 is 15, so we have:
59=1527 310=1550 1527−1550=−1523 So now our equation looks like:
54x−1523=3 Add 1523 to both sides: 54x=3+1523 54x=1545+1523 54x=1568 Multiply both sides by 45: x=1568⋅45 x=468⋅155 x=117⋅31 x=317
