Question

1/6-x/2=x-5/3

Answer 1

are you solving for x?

Answer 2

I am checking solutions. This chapter is on linear equations and inequalities.
To be honest I have no idea what I am doing.........

Answer 3

This is the only math class I need and it is killing me, I have a 4.0 gpa but I won't have it after taking this course.

Answer 4

Is this it:
\(\large\frac{1}{6} - \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x-5}{3}\)

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Multiply the second fraction by 3/3 to get

\(\frac{1}{6} - \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{x-5}{3}\)

Combine fractions on the left side to get:

\(\frac{1-3x}{6} = \frac{x-5}{3}\)

Cross Multiply to get:

3(1-3x) = 6(x-5)

3 - 9x = 6x - 30

Add 9x and 30 to both sides to get:

3 + 30 = 6x + 9x

Simplify to get

33 = 15x

Finish solving for x.

Answer 7

Don't forget to simplify afterwards
