Solve -121/2x+5-2

$$- 12 \frac { 1 } { 2 x } + 5 - 2$$

Evaluate

$$3-\frac{6}{x}$$

Short Solution Steps

Express -12\times \frac{1}{2x} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-12}{2x}+5-2$$

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{-6}{x}+5-2$$

Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.

$$\frac{-6}{x}+3$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3 times \frac{x}{x}.

$$\frac{-6}{x}+\frac{3x}{x}$$

Since \frac{-6}{x} and \frac{3x}{x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-6+3x}{x}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3\left(x-2\right)}{x}$$
