4/3x + 2/3 = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

taking 1/3 common on both sides and multiplying by 3 on both sides we can get 4/x + 2 = 18 4+2x= 18x 4=18x-2x 4=16x x=4/16 = 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/3x= 6 - 2/3 4/3x= 18/3 - 2/3 4/3x= 16/3 x=16/3 / 4/3 x=16/3 times 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you use the equation thing please. I have trouble understanding the '/' thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[{4\over3}x= 6 - {2\over3}\] \[{4\over3}x= {18\over3} - {2\over3}\] \[{4\over3}x= {16\over3}\] \[ x={16\over3} \div {4\over3} \] \[x={16\over3} \times {3\over4} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@order just put the x value 4 in the equation for me ... plzzzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the answers are: x = 4 x = 3 x = 1 x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jenovaxxxxx hey when we substitut them, no one's getting satisified na??? do any???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, 4 is the answer of the equation... if you times 16 by 3 and then divide that by 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just substitute the answer and then check with the right side value.... @order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, the answer I got makes sense. I know it's 4 XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u get 6 then???? @order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. If you substitue 4 into x. It's like 4(x)/3 and not 4/3(x) Understand?...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i hope i'm misunderstood with the question......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, because 1/4 would work if the x was on the denominator side :) So don't worry.
