Rewrite the equation so that none of the values have a denominator and then solve the equation.
1/3x - 5 = 5/2x - 2/3
one strategy for solving the equation above is to
a. determine the least common denominator (lcd) of all fractions in the equation,
b. then multiply the entire quantity on both sides of the equation by that (lcd),
c. then isolate the variable to determine the value of x that makes the original equation a true statement.

The answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Step 1

Determine the least common denominator (LCD) of all fractions in the equation

The LCD is equal to

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to remove the fractions

Step 3

Solve for x

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
