Question

please help me..solve the equation..i'm very confused..

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x+2 }{ 3 }+\frac{ 2x-3 }{ 4 }=2\]

Answer 2

show me what u did

Answer 3

clear the fractions multiply all by 12

Answer 4

this is what i got......
(x + 2)/3 + (2x - 3)/4 = 2

multiply through by 12 to clear fractions:
4(x+2) + 3(2x - 3) = 24

distribute:
8x + 8 + 6x - 9 = 24

combine like terms:
14x - 1 = 24

add 1 to both sides:
14x = 25

divide both sides by 14:
x = 25/14

Answer 5

looks good....

Answer 6

when you distribute, it shouldn't be 8x + 8 + 6x - 9 = 24

it should be 4x + 8 + 6x - 9 = 24

Answer 7

yes, thank jim... don't know why i missed that...

Answer 8

yw

Answer 9

but when i try adding that into the answer i get a different answer to 2? :/

Answer 10

4x + 8 + 6x - 9 = 24


10x - 1 = 24


10x = 24 + 1


10x = 25


x = 25/10


x = 5/2

Answer 11

ahhh that makes sense :L sorry..but thank you :)

Answer 12

no worries, I'm glad it's making sense now
