Solve x/5-x/2=7/10

Evaluate

\frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{2} = \frac{7}{10}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{2}) \times 10 = \frac{7}{10} \times 10

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 3 x = \frac{7}{10} \times 10

Simplify the equation

- 3 x = 7

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 7

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 7}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 7}{3}

Solution

x = - \frac{7}{3}

Alternative Form

x = - 2. \dot{3}
