Question

What is the solution to the rational equation

2x/3 - 4/3 = 6 ? thanks

Answer 1

We must get x by itself. To do this, add \[\frac{4}{3}\] to both sides first.

Answer 2

Then we have \[6+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{3}x\]

Answer 3

To get rid of the (2/3), simply multiply it by (3/2), because (2/3)*(3/2) = 1, and if we have that then we have x by itself. But remember, what you do to one side you must do to the other. So we have now: \[(6+\frac{4}{3})\frac{3}{2}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{3}{2}x=x\]

Answer 4

So do the computation on the left, and that will be your final result.

Answer 5

x5/y ?

Answer 6

Typo

Answer 7

(6+ (4/3))*(3/2) = 11

Answer 8

=x
