1/12x - 2/3= 1/2(3/4- 1/3x)

Question

anonymous · Answer

is this the one where you have to make all the denominators common?

anonymous · Answer

i dont understand how to do this

zepp · Answer

http://puu.sh/ro1z There, you have to distribute the 1/2

campbell_st · Answer

is this the problem...?

$$\frac{1}{12} x -\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3} x)$$

anonymous · Answer

yes

zepp · Answer

http://puu.sh/ro2o Then you can start moving thing around, term with a x together and constants together

anonymous · Answer

and then you ultiply 1/2 on the other side correct?

zepp · Answer

You have to develop it first, as shown in the picture I posted above.

campbell_st · Answer

ok... multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of 1/2 on the Right

$$\frac{1}{6} x - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3} x$$

add 1/3 x to both sides


$$(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}) x - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{4}$$

add 4/3 to both sides

$$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{4}{3}$$

$$\frac[1}{2}x = \frac{25}{12}$$

multiply both sides by 2

$$x = \frac{25}{6}$$

or $$x = 4\frac{1}{6}$$
