x = 11/9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ty
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
not is right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so for 6,2 and 3 not will be the common denominator 9

He means that the answer depends on how you write the question. I'd be more careful and use grouping symbols next time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the answer? x=11/9?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
in the right part is (x-5)/3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
? is 1/6 - x/2 = x-5 /3
OpenStudy (auctoratrox):
what he wants to know is if the x-5 is in the numerator of the quantity on the right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
what is your answer on my question ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now i am really confused
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
why ?
in the right part how you have the terms x-5 and this all are in numerator and 3 is denominator of x too not just for 5 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x - 5 is over 3
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so than in the first step you need getting what will be the common denominator for 6,2 and 3 ?

okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and that is ...
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
can you calcule it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
than no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
than no?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
than now how do you add this fractions ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i do not know
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
sorry but my internet conection is very slowly

OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is okay you really are being a great help
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so than can you make the calcules ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the answer x = 11/9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it wouldnt be if the common denominator is 6 ...right?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so because you said that the right common denominator will be 6 so than 11/9 sign that not is right ,ok ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right okay then it would be some thing over 9 right ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
no because 9 not is right there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
six is going to be the commom denoninator right
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes

okay now what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you really are helping me sooo much thank you
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
make the calcule for denominator 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how /
OpenStudy (anonymous):
common denominator 6 wouldnt be it ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so there is 1/6 -x/2 =(x-5)/3 and you know that the common denominator is 6 what you need to do ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i do not know
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
the first term has denominator 6 so this sign that this numerator you not need multiplie by nothing ,the second term has denominator 2 ,so with this numerator you need multiplie by how many ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and in the right part what you need to do ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
there is denominator 3 so than you multiplie by ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
you need multiplie 3 by how many for get 6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
right
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so after this on place of numerators how many will be ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im gonna go have a smoke ill be right back

well you arent getting back to me so ill come on later
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
1/6 -x/2 =(x-5)/3 so attention because 6 is the denominator common the first numerator multiplie by 1 because the denominator of this is 6 the second numerator multiplie by 3 because 3*2=6 and in the right part because there the denominator is 3 so than the numerator there need multiplie by 2 because 2*3=6 so hence your equation will be
1/6 -3x/6 = 2(x-5)/6 so
1-3x 2x-10
----- = -------
6 6
what sign that 1-3x=2x-10 so add to both sides 10 and will get
1+10-3x=2x-10+10
11 -3x=2x and now add to both sides 3x and will get
11-3x+3x=2x+3x so
11=5x so divide both sides by 5 and will get
11/5 = x
- hope so much that is understandably sure
