Answer: x= 26/3
Step-by-step explanation: Solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable x.
Let's solve your equation!
4 + 2x /6x = 12/5x
2x + 4/6x= 12/5x + 2/15
Multiply all terms by x and cancel:
- 2x + 4/6= 12/5
- 1/3x + 2/3 = 2/15x = 2/15x + 12/5 - 2/15x (Subtract 2/15x from both sides)
- 1/5x + 2/3 = 12/5
- 1/5x + 2/3 -2/3 = 12/5- 2/3 (subtract 2/3 from both sides)
- 1/5x = 12/5
- Multiply both sides by 5

- x= 26/3
