6 - 9x + 5x over 15 = 4

and then

6 - 14x over 15 = 4

now wht?
PLZ HELP
 
G'day, humakhan!

Perfectly correct so far!

You have
Code:
6 - 14x
-------- = 4
   15
Can you see that multplying both sides by 15 will get rid of the fraction? After that, can you rearrange to get it x=...?

P.S: a slash ( / ) can be used to mean "over". Eg. "3 over x" = 3/x.
