For this problem, to be able to solve for x, you need to use the least common denominator.
00:06
On the left side, there's one x.
00:08
Well, on the right side, there are three.
00:11
So you know that the least common denominator will be three.
00:14
So i'm going to multiply the left side times three.
00:19
So this will give us 12 over 3x plus 10 equals 2 over 3x.
00:43
Since both of the xs are in the denominator, you know that x cannot equal zero.
00:52
This will be an exclusion from the answers.
00:57
The next step will be to combine like terms.
01:01
So i will subtract over 10 to the right side, so i'm able to get the other two together.
01:11
The left side of equation, that'll equal zero.
01:14
So it will be 12 over 3x equals 2 over 3x minus 10...
