im in community college math 107 the question asks determine which values could be used to clear the frections in the given equation. select all that apply. 1/3(x) - 5/6 = x/9
a. 6 b. 9 c. 12 d. 18 e. 33 f. 36
right off the practice quiz
18 and 36 are the answer

okay so i distributed 18/1(1/3x-5/6) = x/9(18/1) and got
6x-15=2x
-15= -4x
3.75=x.... i dont get how thats what x is...

is the question just asking to find what numbers the denominators can go into?

The question is not to figure what x is... you are right.. you just need to find out what the denominators go into evenly.
