15/3+(x- 15)/ 1.5-x/3 = 10
That is, 5+2 (x-15)/3-x/3 =10.
Multiply both sides by 3 at the same time.
15+2(x- 15)-x=30
15+2x-30-x=30
The solution is x=45.
2 3x+3(x+0.5)=24
Without brackets: 3x+3x+ 1.5=24.
Transferred items: 3x+3x=24- 1.5
Combine similar projects: 6x=22.5
The coefficient is 1: x=3.75.
1-x÷5=3( 1-x÷4)
Without brackets: 1- x/5=3-3x/4.
Remove the denominator: (both sides are multiplied by 20 at the same time) 20-4x = 60-15x.
Transferred items: -4x+ 15x=60-20
Merge similar items: 1 1x=40.
The coefficient is 1: x=40/ 1 1.
