Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "2.2" was replaced by "(22/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
(62/10)-((22/10)+x)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
11
Simplify ——
5
Equation at the end of step 1 :
62 11
—— - (—— + x) = 0
10 5
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
x x • 5
x = — = —————
1 5
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
11 + x • 5 5x + 11
—————————— = ———————
5 5
Equation at the end of step 2 :
62 (5x + 11)
—— - ————————— = 0
10 5
Step 3 :
31
Simplify ——
5
Equation at the end of step 3 :
31 (5x + 11)
—— - ————————— = 0
5 5
Step 4 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
4.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
31 - ((5x+11)) 20 - 5x
—————————————— = ———————
5 5
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
20 - 5x = -5 • (x - 4)
Equation at the end of step 5 :
4 - x = 0
Step 6 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
6.1 Solve : -x+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
-x = -4
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = 4
One solution was found :
x = 4How did we do?
