Question
Solve: $\frac{\text{x}-5}{2}-\frac{\text{x}-3}{5}=\frac{1}{2}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{\text{x}-5}{2}-\frac{\text{x}-3}{5}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow10\Big(\frac{\text{x}-5}{2}\Big)-10\Big(\frac{\text{x}-3}{5}\Big)=10\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$($multiplying throughout by $10,$ which is the $L.C.M.$ of $2, 2$ and $5):$
$\Rightarrow5(\text{x}-5)-2(\text{x}-3)=5$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}-2$
$\Rightarrow10\Big(\frac{\text{x}-5}{2}\Big)-10\Big(\frac{\text{x}-3}{5}\Big)=10\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$($multiplying throughout by $10,$ which is the $L.C.M.$ of $2, 2$ and $5):$
$\Rightarrow5(\text{x}-5)-2(\text{x}-3)=5$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}-2$
