Can someone help me. Solve the equation: x/6 - 2/3 = x/9

Question

anonymous · Answer

i would first multiplay both sides by 9 to get rid of the fraction, then multiply by 6 to get rid of the other fractions and make it easier to slove

yttrium · Answer

Better get rid of the fractions first. If you know what @BigTeach2345  is trying to say. Good. If not, just tell us. :)

I still don't understand

You can use the idea of balance to solve equations...

anonymous · Answer

(x/6 -2/3 = x/9) X 9   
= (9x/6 - 6 = x) 
 = 9x - 36 = 6x 
Now you should be able to slove this equation

skullpatrol · Answer

...whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do it to the other to keep the balance.

skullpatrol · Answer

$$\huge (\frac{x}{6} -\frac{2}{3})*9 = (\frac{x}{9}) * 9$$   
$$\huge \frac{9x}{6} - 6 = x$$ 
 $$\huge9x - 36 = 6x $$
