\frac{8}{15}=\frac{2x+6}{52.5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{32}{60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
\frac{8}{15}=\frac{2x}{52.5}+\frac{6}{52.5}
Divide each term of 2x+6 by 52.5 to get \frac{2x}{52.5}+\frac{6}{52.5}.
\frac{8}{15}=\frac{4}{105}x+\frac{6}{52.5}
Divide 2x by 52.5 to get \frac{4}{105}x.
\frac{8}{15}=\frac{4}{105}x+\frac{60}{525}
Expand \frac{6}{52.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
\frac{8}{15}=\frac{4}{105}x+\frac{4}{35}
Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{525} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.
\frac{4}{105}x+\frac{4}{35}=\frac{8}{15}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{4}{105}x=\frac{8}{15}-\frac{4}{35}
Subtract \frac{4}{35} from both sides.
\frac{4}{105}x=\frac{56}{105}-\frac{12}{105}
Least common multiple of 15 and 35 is 105. Convert \frac{8}{15} and \frac{4}{35} to fractions with denominator 105.
\frac{4}{105}x=\frac{56-12}{105}
Since \frac{56}{105} and \frac{12}{105} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{4}{105}x=\frac{44}{105}
Subtract 12 from 56 to get 44.
x=\frac{\frac{44}{105}}{\frac{4}{105}}
Divide both sides by \frac{4}{105}.
x=\frac{44}{105\times \frac{4}{105}}
Express \frac{\frac{44}{105}}{\frac{4}{105}} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{44}{4}
Multiply 105 and \frac{4}{105} to get 4.
x=11
Divide 44 by 4 to get 11.
