Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. x−2 over 3−(x+3 over 5)=−1 Simplify: (Show steps) 2 over 15x+−19 over 15=−1 Step 2: Add 19/15 to both sides. 2 over 15x+−19 over 15+19 over 15=−1+19 over 15 2 over 15x=4 over 15 Step 3: Multiply both sides by 15/2. (15 over 2)*(2 over 15x)=(15 over 2)*(4 over 15)
