2x+1)/(4)+(4x+1)/(6)=(1)
ah solve for x make your life easy and multiply both sides by 12 to clear the fractions
\[3(2x+1)+2(4x+1)=12\] and then it will be much easier
multiply out, combine like terms etc. you good from there?
urm no tottally sure but this is wat I got wen i tried it..
did you get \[x=\frac{1}{2}\]?
no i got 6x/6 =22/6
which gave me x=3.666667
=/ dnt think its right is it
start here \[3(2x+1)+2(4x+1)=12\]
how did you get 3(2x+1)+2(4x+1)=12
then multiply out using the distributive property \[6x+3+8x+2=12\] combine like terms \[14x+5=12\] subtract 5 \[14x=7\] divide by 14 \[x=\frac{1}{2}\]
im confused =/ sorry...
multiply both sides by the least common multiply of 4 and 6, which is 12 i will write the steps
(2x+1)/(4)+(4x+1)/(6)=(1) (2x+1)/(4) * (3)/(3) + (4x+1)/(6) * (2)/(2)=(1) (2x+1)(3)/(12)+((4x+1)(2))/(12)=(1) ((2x+1)(3)+((4x+1)(2)))/(12)=(1) (14x+5)/(12)=(1) 14x+5=12 14x=7 x=1/2
\[\frac{2x+1}{4}+\frac{4x+1}{6}=1\] \[12\left(\frac{2x+1}{4}+\frac{4x+1}{6}\right)=1\times 12\] \[3(2x+1)+2(4x+1)=12\] the last line because 4 goes in to 12 3 times and 6 goes in to 12 2 times
don't forget the parentheses because you have to mulitply out using the distributive law
okay thanks.
