Question

solve the equation

Answer 1

multiply the second equation by 3/3 then combine the fractions and cross multiply

Answer 2

\[\frac{3x-6}{6}+\frac{9x-6}{6} = \frac{4x+2}{3}\]

Answer 3

That should be your next step, then this:

\[\frac{12x-15}{6}=\frac{4x+2}{3}\]

Answer 4

Then cross multiply:

3(12x-15) = 6(4x+2)

Answer 5

From there, you can solve for x

Answer 6

x=57/12?

Answer 7

36x - 30 = 24x + 12

12x = 42
x = 42/12
x = 7/2 or 3.5

Answer 8

You could also multiply each term by 6:
\[3x + 3(3x-2) = 2(4x+2)\]
simplifies to 4x = 16

Answer 9

woops first term is (3x-6) not 3x. Same answer though.
