Question

Solve for t. Clear fractions first: 2/3t+4=1/6t

Answer 1

What's your first guess?

Answer 2

Do you divide 2/3 by both sides?

Answer 3

Nah, you wanna get all the \(t\) terms on one side.

Answer 4

Do you know how to add/subtract like terms?

Answer 5

\[t=-\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\] Right?

Answer 6

I cannot remember. It has been a long time since I have done algebra..

Answer 7

Can you do: \[
\frac{1}{6}t-\frac{2}{3}t
\]

Answer 8

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3t }-\frac{ 1 }{ 6t }=-4\]
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3t }=\frac{ 4 }{ 6t }\]
\[\frac{ 4-1 }{ 6t }=-4\]

Answer 9

you could just multiply the whole equation (both sides) by 6 (the LCD) to get rid of the fractions

Answer 10

@LylaJane

Clear fractions first : (2/3) t + 4 = (1/6) t
You have denominators of 3 and 6.

Clear fractions by multiplying each member of the equation by 6.

6*(2/3) t + 6*4 = 6* (1/6) t
That yields:
4t + 24 = t.
Solve for t.

Answer 11

Can anyone help me Please :)
\[-1\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }*\left( -3\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \right)\]

Answer 12

I would use directrix's approach

Answer 13

Yacoub1993 ....
change mixed numerals to improper fractions, then multiply...
you can do this...

Answer 14

ok i made a mistake

Answer 15

its \[-1\frac{ 3 }{ 7 }\times(-3 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 })\]

Answer 16

Do you know what - 1 3/7 is when changed to an improper fraction ?

Answer 17

\[-\frac{ 3 }{ 7 }\]

Answer 18

no.....
To change mixed numbers to improper fractions, you take the whole number and multiply it by the denominator, then add that to the numerator, then put that over the original denominator.
Lets do this...1 x 7 = 7 + 3 = 10, then put 10 over the denominator and that makes it - 10/7. This is your improper fraction for -1 3/7. Can you do the other mixed number ?

Answer 19

is it \[-\frac{ 11 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 20

yes it is....now just multiply ....- 10/7 x - 11/3 and you will get your answer

Answer 21

i got 110/21
but the choices they gave me doesnt include that

Answer 22

you have to turn the improper fraction (110/21)back into a mixed number. Do you know how to do that ?

Answer 23

no u just tought me the opposite

Answer 24

Let me show you....
How many times does 21 go into 110 without going over ?

Answer 25

i think 5

Answer 26

yes....5 is your whole number. 5 x 21 = 105. Now take the 110 and subtract 105 and what do you get ?

Answer 27

5

Answer 28

hold on

Answer 29

yes...that is your numerator. And you put your numerator over the original denominator and you get 5 5/21.

Answer 30

is it \[5\frac{ 5 }{ 21 }\]

Answer 31

yes it is ....way to go !!

Answer 32

man dont know how to reward u back

Answer 33

you understanding is reward enough :)

Answer 34
