The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{2x+1}{10} - \frac{3-2x}{15} = \frac{x-2}{6}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM The denominators are 10, 15, and 6. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 30. ### Step 2: Rewrite the equation with the LCM Multiply each term by 30 to eliminate the denominators: \[ 30 \left(\frac{2x+1}{10}\right) - 30 \left(\frac{3-2x}{15}\right) = 30 \left(\frac{x-2}{6}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ 3(2x + 1) - 2(3 - 2x) = 5(x - 2) \] ### Step 3: Distribute the terms Distributing the terms gives us: \[ 6x + 3 - 6 + 4x = 5x - 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 10x - 3 = 5x - 10 \] ### Step 4: Move variables to one side and constants to the other Subtract \(5x\) from both sides and add 3 to both sides: \[ 10x - 5x = -10 + 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x = -7 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Divide both sides by 5: \[ x = -\frac{7}{5} \] ### Step 6: Find the value of \(y\) Now we need to find \(y\) using the equation \(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = 3\). Substitute \(x = -\frac{7}{5}\): \[ \frac{1}{-\frac{7}{5}} + \frac{1}{y} = 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ -\frac{5}{7} + \frac{1}{y} = 3 \] ### Step 7: Isolate \(\frac{1}{y}\) Add \(\frac{5}{7}\) to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{y} = 3 + \frac{5}{7} \] ### Step 8: Find a common denominator The common denominator for 3 (which is \(\frac{21}{7}\)) and \(\frac{5}{7}\) is 7: \[ \frac{1}{y} = \frac{21}{7} + \frac{5}{7} = \frac{26}{7} \] ### Step 9: Solve for \(y\) Taking the reciprocal gives: \[ y = \frac{7}{26} \] ### Final Answer The values are: - \(x = -\frac{7}{5}\) - \(y = \frac{7}{26}\) ---
