Question

could someone help me with this i also need the steps on how you figured it out,
6=x+2/3

Answer 1

you want to solve for x?

Answer 2

yes and x+2/3 is a fraction

Answer 3

\[6 = \frac{x+2}3\]
or \[6 = x + \frac 23\]

Answer 4

first one

Answer 5

x+2 over 3

Answer 6

hmm so \[6 = \frac{x+2}3\]
are you familiar with "cross multiplication"?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

good. so perform cross multiplication ehre

Answer 9

here*

Answer 10

im not sure on how to do it though

Answer 11

i go to a virtual school and some problems almost need to be seen done in order to understand them

Answer 12

hmm okay then

for example you have

\[2 = \frac x3\]

cross multiplying 3 to 2
\[\implies 2\times 3 = x\]
then simplify\[\implies 6 = x\]
got it?

Answer 13

ok so the answer is x=6?

Answer 14

in my example

Answer 15

notice how my example is not the same as your question

Answer 16

ok thank you for your help

Answer 17

welcome

Answer 18

6= x+2/3
6(3)= x+2/3(3) - you get rid of the denominator which is 3
18=x+2
18-2= x+2-2
16= x

Answer 19

thank you Natasha would you have time to help me with one more?

Answer 20

np and yeah sure

Answer 21

-5=s-3

Answer 22

you want to isolate the "s" so you do -5+3= s-3+3 to remove the 3 and then s= -2

Answer 23

see now when i see it done already for me i get it!!
then i also have this last one 5/13t =-9

Answer 24

when you go to a virtual school you dont always get to see it done by someone

Answer 25

ok so you would get rid of the 13 first by multiplying it on both sides: 5/13(13)t= -9(13)
so you would get 5t= -117, you would then divide by 5 on both sides: 5/5t= -117/5 so t= 23.4

Answer 26

thank you very much!! I really appreciate your help

Answer 27

aha anytime! (:
