Question

Solve for x.

1/3(9-6x)+x=7+2x-2

Answer 1

move all the numbers to one side and all the x's to the other

Answer 2

I'm really bad with fractions

Answer 3

1/3(9-6x)+x=7+2x-2

9-6x-2x=5*3

-6x-2x=15-9

Answer 4

there's no fractions really, it's (9-6x) divided by 3, when you bring it over you get rid of the brackets.

can you finish it?

Answer 5

do I combine the fractions?

Answer 6

the negative ones?

Answer 7

you can always multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction

Answer 8

are you referring to the the x's (unknown/variables) as fractions?

Answer 9

the 1/3

Answer 10

1/3(9-6x)+x=7+2x-2

multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of 1/3 then :P
9-6x=3*(7+2x-2)

Answer 11

yeah, just move it over to the other side by performing the inverse function which would be multiplication

Answer 12

Will it be -2/3..?

Answer 13

I believe you missed an 'x' @timo86m

1/3(9 - 6x) + x = 7 + 2x - 2

subtract x from both sides first

1/3(9 - 6x) = 7 + x - 2

Now multiply both sides by 3

9-6x = 3(7 + x - 2)

9 - 6x = 21 + 3x - 6

9 - 6x = 15 + 3x

9 = 15 + 9x

9x = -6

x = -6/9

x = -2/3

Yes good job @cynthia_franco
