1. $ \frac{5x}{3} + \frac{2}{5} = 1 $



Step 1: Subtract $ \frac{2}{5} $ from both sides:

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

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 3:

$$
5x = \frac{9}{5}
$$

Step 3: Divide by 5:

$$
x = \frac{9}{25}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{9}{25}} $

2. $ \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{4} = 13 $



Step 1: Find LCM of denominators: LCM(2, 3, 4) = 12

Convert all terms:

$$
\frac{6x}{12} + \frac{4x}{12} + \frac{3x}{12} = 13
\Rightarrow \frac{13x}{12} = 13
$$

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 12:

$$
13x = 156
\Rightarrow x = \frac{156}{13} = 12
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{12} $ (or $ \frac{12}{1} $)

3. $ \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{8} = \frac{1}{8} $



Step 1: LCM of 2 and 8 is 8

$$
\frac{4x}{8} + \frac{x}{8} = \frac{1}{8} \Rightarrow \frac{5x}{8} = \frac{1}{8}
$$

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 8:

$$
5x = 1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{5}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{5}} $

---

4. $ \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{3x}{8} = \frac{7}{12} $



Step 1: LCM of 3 and 8 is 24

$$
\frac{16x}{24} - \frac{9x}{24} = \frac{7}{12} \Rightarrow \frac{7x}{24} = \frac{7}{12}
$$

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 24:

$$
7x = 14 \Rightarrow x = 2
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{2} $

---

5. $ (x+2)(x+3) + (x-3)(x-2) - 2x(x+1) = 0 $



Step 1: Expand each term:

- $ (x+2)(x+3) = x^2 + 5x + 6 $
- $ (x-3)(x-2) = x^2 - 5x + 6 $
- $ 2x(x+1) = 2x^2 + 2x $

Now plug in:

$$
(x^2 + 5x + 6) + (x^2 - 5x + 6) - (2x^2 + 2x) = 0
$$

Simplify:

$$
x^2 + 5x + 6 + x^2 - 5x + 6 - 2x^2 - 2x = 0
\Rightarrow (2x^2 - 2x^2) + (5x - 5x - 2x) + (6 + 6) = 0
\Rightarrow -2x + 12 = 0
$$

Step 2: Solve:

$$
-2x = -12 \Rightarrow x = 6
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{6} $

6. $ \frac{x}{2} - \frac{4}{5} + \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{1}{5} $



Step 1: Combine like terms. Group $ x $-terms:

$$
\left(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3x}{10}\right) - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{5}
$$

LCM of 2, 5, 10 is 10:

$$
\frac{5x}{10} + \frac{2x}{10} + \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{10x}{10} = x
$$

So equation becomes:

$$
x - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{5}
$$

Step 2: Add $ \frac{4}{5} $ to both sides:

$$
x = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = 1
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{1} $

7. $ \frac{7}{x} + 35 = \frac{1}{10} $



Step 1: Subtract 35 from both sides:

$$
\frac{7}{x} = \frac{1}{10} - 35 = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{350}{10} = -\frac{349}{10}
$$

Step 2: Take reciprocal:

$$
\frac{7}{x} = -\frac{349}{10} \Rightarrow x = 7 \cdot \left(-\frac{10}{349}\right) = -\frac{70}{349}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{-\frac{70}{349}} $

---

8. $ \frac{2x - 1}{3} - \frac{6x - 2}{5} = \frac{1}{3} $



Step 1: Multiply entire equation by LCM of 3 and 5 = 15:

$$
15 \left( \frac{2x - 1}{3} - \frac{6x - 2}{5} \right) = 15 \cdot \frac{1}{3}
\Rightarrow 5(2x - 1) - 3(6x - 2) = 5
$$

Step 2: Expand:

$$
10x - 5 - 18x + 6 = 5
\Rightarrow -8x + 1 = 5
$$

Step 3: Solve:

$$
-8x = 4 \Rightarrow x = -\frac{4}{8} = -\frac{1}{2}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{-\frac{1}{2}} $

---

9. $ 13(y - 4) - 3(y - 9) - 5(y + 4) = 0 $



Step 1: Expand:

- $ 13y - 52 $
- $ -3y + 27 $
- $ -5y - 20 $

Add them:

$$
13y - 52 - 3y + 27 - 5y - 20 = (13y - 3y - 5y) + (-52 + 27 - 20) = 5y - 45
$$

Set equal to zero:

$$
5y - 45 = 0 \Rightarrow 5y = 45 \Rightarrow y = 9
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{9} $

---

10. $ \frac{2}{3}(x - 5) - \frac{1}{4}(x - 2) = \frac{9}{2} $



Step 1: Expand:

$$
\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{10}{3} - \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{9}{2}
\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{4}x\right) + \left(-\frac{10}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{9}{2}
$$

Step 2: Simplify $ x $-terms:

LCM of 3 and 4 is 12:

$$
\frac{8}{12}x - \frac{3}{12}x = \frac{5}{12}x
$$

Constants:

$$
-\frac{10}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{20}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = -\frac{17}{6}
$$

So:

$$
\frac{5}{12}x - \frac{17}{6} = \frac{9}{2}
$$

Step 3: Add $ \frac{17}{6} $ to both sides:

$$
\frac{5}{12}x = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{17}{6} = \frac{27}{6} + \frac{17}{6} = \frac{44}{6} = \frac{22}{3}
$$

Step 4: Multiply both sides by $ \frac{12}{5} $:

$$
x = \frac{22}{3} \cdot \frac{12}{5} = \frac{264}{15} = \frac{88}{5}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{88}{5}} $
