5/6x-2/3=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1/2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x = 1/2

OpenStudy (radar):

Just where does that x belong? Is it (5/6)(x) or is it meant to be 5/(6x) or (5x)/6???

OpenStudy (radar):

I am guessing it is (5x/6) or (5/6) x 5 x 2 --- - --- = 1 6 3 5 x 2 5 ----- = 1 + --- = ----- 6 3 3 6 5 x = -- X --- =2 5 3 x=2

OpenStudy (radar):

Just in case it was: 5 2 --- - -- = 1 6x 3 5 2 5 --- = 1 + ---- = --- Cross Multiply 6x 3 3 15 = 30x x=15/30= 1/2 as provided by both Konsalis and saifoo.khan
