The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((2x - 13)/5 - (x - 3)/11 = (x - 9)/5 + 1\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we can find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (5 and 11). The LCM of 5 and 11 is 55. We will multiply every term in the equation by 55. \[ 55 \left(\frac{2x - 13}{5}\right) - 55 \left(\frac{x - 3}{11}\right) = 55 \left(\frac{x - 9}{5}\right) + 55(1) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Now, we simplify each term: \[ 11(2x - 13) - 5(x - 3) = 11(x - 9) + 55 \] Expanding each term: \[ 22x - 143 - 5x + 15 = 11x - 99 + 55 \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms Now, combine like terms on both sides: Left side: \[ (22x - 5x) + (-143 + 15) = 17x - 128 \] Right side: \[ 11x - 99 + 55 = 11x - 44 \] So, we have: \[ 17x - 128 = 11x - 44 \] ### Step 4: Isolate the variable Next, we will isolate \(x\) by moving all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constant terms to the other side: \[ 17x - 11x = -44 + 128 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x = 84 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{84}{6} = 14 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{14} \] ---
