The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((5x - 2)/3 + (4x + 3)/2 = (3x + 19)/2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) The denominators in the equation are 3 and 2. The LCM of 3 and 2 is 6. ### Step 2: Rewrite Each Fraction with the LCM We will rewrite each term in the equation with the LCM of 6 as the denominator: \[ \frac{5x - 2}{3} = \frac{2(5x - 2)}{6} \] \[ \frac{4x + 3}{2} = \frac{3(4x + 3)}{6} \] \[ \frac{3x + 19}{2} = \frac{3(3x + 19)}{6} \] ### Step 3: Substitute Back into the Equation Now, substituting these back into the equation gives us: \[ \frac{2(5x - 2) + 3(4x + 3)}{6} = \frac{3(3x + 19)}{6} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate the Denominator Since both sides of the equation have the same denominator (6), we can multiply through by 6 to eliminate it: \[ 2(5x - 2) + 3(4x + 3) = 3(3x + 19) \] ### Step 5: Distribute Now we will distribute on both sides: Left side: \[ 2(5x) - 2(2) + 3(4x) + 3(3) = 10x - 4 + 12x + 9 \] Combining like terms gives us: \[ (10x + 12x) + (-4 + 9) = 22x + 5 \] Right side: \[ 3(3x) + 3(19) = 9x + 57 \] So now we have: \[ 22x + 5 = 9x + 57 \] ### Step 6: Move All Terms Involving \(x\) to One Side Subtract \(9x\) from both sides: \[ 22x - 9x + 5 = 57 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x + 5 = 57 \] ### Step 7: Move Constant to the Other Side Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ 13x = 57 - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x = 52 \] ### Step 8: Solve for \(x\) Now, divide both sides by 13: \[ x = \frac{52}{13} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 4 \] ### Final Answer The value of \(x\) is \(4\). ---
