Question

PLEASE HELP!! Solve for x: (3/x)-(2/3)=5/6

Answer 1

move -2/3 onto left side it will become+2/3
then take lcm

Answer 2

apply the properties of equality
Ax+B=C
Ax+B+(-B)=C-B
Ax=C-B
(1/A)(Ax)=(C-B)(1/A)
X=(C-B)/A

Answer 3

I dont undertstand! :/

Answer 4

3/x=5/6+2/3
lets try next

Answer 5

ok so i worked through the problem to where its 9/6=3/x and so i cross multiplyed and got x=2 ... is that right!?

Answer 7

lcm of 5/6+2/3 = 5+2*(2)/6 =9/6
equalise
3/x=9/6
reverse on both sides
x/3= 6/9
can u proceed

Answer 8

then you cross multiply?? it would still be 2... :/

Answer 11

ok thanks!! ;)

Answer 12

yes well done

Answer 13

@cassie4math try checking www.khanacademy.org I think it has many videos about linear equations :)
