Answer 10

a fractional equation can always be solved by multiplying by lcm of the denominators

6x^2 , 3x^2 and x
the lcm (lowest common multiple) is the lowest value into which these 3 terms can divide

lcm of 3 and 6 is 6
lcm of x^2, x is x^2

so the lcm of all 3 is 6 x^2

now do the multiplication:
