if 5 + 7 / x = 6 - 5 / x , then x =
we ' re given the equation 5 + 7 / x = 6 - 5 / x . we ' re asked for the value of x . the common - denominator of these 4 numbers is x , so we need to multiply both sides of the equation by x , giving us . . . 5 x + 7 x / x = 6 x - 5 x / x we can then eliminate that denominator , which gives us . . . . 5 x + 7 = 6 x - 5 12 = x c
divide(add(7, 5), subtract(6, 5))
