Question

1/5x-1/6(x-4)=6x

Answer 1

Develop this equation order x in one side and solve.
\[x/5-x/6+4/6=6x\]\[(1/5)x-(1/6)x-6x=-4/6\]\[(6/30)x-(5/30)x-(180/30)x=-20/30\]\[5x-6x-180x=-20\]\[-181x=-20\]
\[x=20/181\]

Answer 2

x/30+4/6=6x
x=0.111

Answer 3

I'm getting 20/179 - what am I doing wrong?

Answer 4

BTW never round a value except if it's ask, a round value is not an exact answer!

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6

There was a mistake in the original calculation of the following:
(6/30)x−(5/30)x−(180/30)x = −20/30
6x-5x-180x=-20 <<< This is correct
179x =-20
x =-20/179

Answer 7

right, i switch it ^^ hopefully you noticed!
