To solve the equation, first find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 15. Rewrite the equation as $\frac{6}{15}x - \frac{5}{15}x = 5$. Simplify to $\frac{1}{15}x = 5$. Multiply both sides by 15 to get $x = 75$.

Solve the Equation 25x−13x=5\frac { 2 } { 5 } x - \frac { 1 } { 3 } x = 552​x−31​x=5

Solve the Equation $\frac { 2 } { 5 } x - \frac { 1 } { 3 } x = 5$
