Solve x-5/4=2x+1/3+3

Evaluate

x - \frac{5}{4} = 2 x + \frac{1}{3} + 3

Add the numbers

More Steps

x - \frac{5}{4} = 2 x + \frac{10}{3}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(x - \frac{5}{4}) \times 12 = (2 x + \frac{10}{3}) \times 12

Calculate

More Steps

12 x - 15 = (2 x + \frac{10}{3}) \times 12

Calculate

More Steps

12 x - 15 = 24 x + 40

Move the expression to the left side

12 x - 15 - 24 x = 40

Move the expression to the right side

12 x - 24 x = 40 + 15

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 12 x = 40 + 15

Add and subtract

- 12 x = 55

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

12 x = - 55

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{- 55}{12}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 55}{12}

Solution

x = - \frac{55}{12}

Alternative Form

x = - 4.58 \dot{3}
