Question

$$\frac{ 2x }{ 3 } - \frac{ 7x }{ 15 } =3$$

Solve for x

$x=15$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $15$, the least common multiple of $3,15$.

$$5\times 2x-7x=45$$

Multiply $5$ and $2$ to get $10$.

$$10x-7x=45$$

Combine $10x$ and $-7x$ to get $3x$.

$$3x=45$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{45}{3}$$

Divide $45$ by $3$ to get $15$.

$$x=15$$
