Question

Can someone actually show their work so I can see what I did wrong.
(1/6x^2) = (1/2x) + (7/6x^2)

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{6x^2}=\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{7}{6x^2}\]

Answer 2

Do I have it right?

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

Common denominator is 6x^2. Let's multiply each term by that.

Answer 5

\[6x^2\times\frac{1}{6x^2}=6x^2\times\frac{1}{2x}+6x^2\times\frac{7}{6x^2}\]

Answer 6

\[1=3x+7\]
\[-6=3x\]
\[-2=x\]

Answer 7

thanks so much, I figured I had the wrong common denominator.
