2. anonymous

can you make it an equation please

3. anonymous

1/2 + 4/2x= x+4/10

4. anonymous

$\frac{ 1 }{ 2} + \frac{ 4 }{ 2 }\left( x \right)=\frac{ x+4 }{ 10 }$ ?

5. anonymous

no the x is with the 2 on the 2nd fraction

6. anonymous

Ok so what do you think you would do 1st?

7. anonymous

find the common denominator which is 10x

8. anonymous

Yeah so do that and tell me what you get

9. anonymous

5x\10x+ 20\10x= x2+4x\10x?

11. anonymous

Yep I am pretty sure that is right Now what would you do?

12. anonymous

combine the left side

13. anonymous

Good

14. anonymous

Tell me what you get

15. anonymous

The answer I got was 5

16. anonymous

as in x=5?

17. anonymous

yes

18. anonymous

Ok so you can check by plugging 5 into the original equation and checking to see if they equal each other

19. anonymous

So if they equal each other then you have done the problem right

20. anonymous

Did it work?
