The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{2x}{5} - \frac{x}{2} = \frac{5}{2}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) The denominators in the equation are 5 and 2. The LCM of 5 and 2 is 10. ### Step 2: Rewrite each term with the LCM We will rewrite each term in the equation using the LCM: \[ \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{2x \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} = \frac{4x}{10} \] \[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} = \frac{5x}{10} \] \[ \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} = \frac{25}{10} \] Now, substitute these back into the equation: \[ \frac{4x}{10} - \frac{5x}{10} = \frac{25}{10} \] ### Step 3: Combine the fractions Now that we have a common denominator, we can combine the left side: \[ \frac{4x - 5x}{10} = \frac{25}{10} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{-x}{10} = \frac{25}{10} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate the denominator To eliminate the denominator, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10: \[ -x = 25 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Now, to solve for \(x\), we multiply both sides by -1: \[ x = -25 \] ### Final Answer: The solution to the equation is: \[ x = -25 \]
