1/2 • (7x -6) - (6x-10) = 0 (7x -6)/2 - (6x -10) = 0 Subtract a whole from a fraction 6x - 10 = 6x - 10/1 = (6x - 10) • 2/2 Pull out the factors: 6x - 10 = 2•(3x - 5) Adding up the two equivalent fractions (7x-6) - (2•(3x5)•2)/2 = 14 - 5x/2 14 - 5x/2 = 0 14-5x/2 • 2 = 0•2 Solve: -5x+14=0 Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation: -5x = -14 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 5x=14 Divide both sides of the equation by 5: x=14/5=2.800
