Question

Solve the equation 1 over 3 x + 2 = 10 for x. 36 30 24 12

Answer 1

how do i do this?

Answer 2

You should be able to move the 10 over and set the equation equal to 0.
Once you do that change 10 into a fraction.
You should end up with
(1/(3x+2)) - 10/1
Now make it so it has a common denominator by multiplying it by 3x+2.
Then solve.

Answer 3

lol im confused now

Answer 4

oh ok so then X would equal 28?

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3x+2 }= 10\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{3x+2 }-\frac{ 10 }{ 1 }=0\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3x+2 }-(\frac{ 10 }{ 1 }\times \frac{ 3x+2 }{3x+2 })\]

Answer 6

so x= 28?

Answer 7

Is that one of your answer options?

Answer 8

oops nope
lol

Answer 9

HAHAHAHA I suck at this

Answer 10

Apparently I do too, I keep getting an improper fraction :(
Hold on, let me try it a different way

Answer 11

I multiplied by the resiprical then subtracted 2 on both sides

Answer 12

Does only the 3x+2 = 10
or does the entire equation = 10?

Answer 13

so it would go from this : 1 over 3 x + 2 = 10 for x.

to this: x+2=30

to this: x=28



but apparently its not right

Answer 14

Well you dropped an x I think. It should be 30x

Answer 15

no I left the x where it was but that may have been my mistake

Answer 16

no then it would be x= 0.0666666666666666666666
