3/4x+2/3x=48/8
9/12x+8/12x=6 17/12x=6 x=72/17
Kind of an awkward number :S mixed fraction: 4 4/17
Correct answer was 6?!?!? This one puzzles me! lol
I was about to post the correct solution.
I can't believe you actually thought that a mixed number was the solution.
There aren't even any mixed numbers to begin with.
Here is a similar one - 6/5x+2/10x=28/10
Okay, let me solve it first please
ok
Word of advice, try to post sentences and math equations on SEPARATE lines
Just to confirm, is 6x/5 negative?
6/5x+2/10x=28/10=?
I see ur point on sep lines - thanks!
There you go...You see what I mean? See how easily you can confuse someone?
6/5x+2/10x=28/10 12x/10 + 2/10 = 28/10 14x/10 = 28/10 14x/10 - 28/10 = 0 (14x - 28)/10 = 0 14x - 28 = 0 14x = 28 x = 28/14 x = 2
Try x = 2 and see what happens.
Hero, how did you get 6 on the first question?
BINGO, Hero!!!
I didn't. I hadn't finished solving it before jus gave the answer.
But I can still post the solution to that if you want @ 14yamaka
please!
k
here is another one
I'm probably completely misunderstanding the question lol
5x-9=15+11x
6x=-24 x=-4
I'm still trying to figure out the first one.
3/4x+2/3x=48/8 3x/4 + 2x/3 = 6 9x/12 + 8x/12 = 6 17x/12 = 6/1 17x = 72 x = 72/17 That's what I got which means jus may have posted it wrong.
Jus, from now on, when posting fractional equations, use equation editor or the drawing function because you don't know how to post fractions linearly, sorry buddy.
Good advice XD it's hard for anybody to post it though lol
In equation editor, type frac{a}{b} to post fractions
new to this - sorry. Dont even know all of the tools yet
For example, to post 6/5x+2/10x=28/10, do this: \[\frac{6x}{5} + \frac{2x}{10} = \frac{28}{10}\] This is exactly what you type to get that: frac{6x}{5} + frac{2x}{10} = frac{28}{10} or if you want to type this: \[\frac{6}{5}x + \frac{2}{10}x = \frac{28}{10}\] you type: frac{6}{5}x + frac{2}{10}x = frac{28}{10} Get it?
Thank you, hero!! Appreciate the help. :oP
