Question

Solve for x: 3 over x minus 2 over 3 equals 5 over 6

Answer 1

is the equation

\[\frac{3}{\frac{x -2}{3}} = \frac{5}{6}\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ok... so looking at the left hand fraction, use the rule for dividing by fractions, find the reciprocal and multiply

so the question becomes

\[\frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{(x -2)} = \frac{5}{6}\]

simplify this step then cross multiply to remove the denominators..

this would then allow you to then solve for x.
