5/6 (5x -2/12) -2/5 > 3/5?

Shanon Collins answered

Solving for x?

5/6 (5x -2/12) -2/5 > 3/5
+2/5 +2/5

5/6 (5x-2/12) > 1

multiply both sides by (6) since that is common denominator ( 2/12 = 1/6)
so that:

5 (30x- 1) > 6

150x- 5 > 6
+5 +5
150x>11

divide both sides by 150

x> 11/150

One can clear fractions by multiplying by 180.
(5/6)(5x - 2/12) - (2/5) > (3/5)
(5/6)(5x - 1/6) > 1 (add 2/5)
5x - 1/6 > 6/5 (multiply by 6/5)
5x > 36/30 + 5/30 (add 1/6, express the fractions as equivalents)
x > (41/30)/5 (divide by 5)
x > 41/150
