Question

-1/6(x-18)+1/3(x+3)=x-11

Answer 1

First distribute the 6 in the first term

-1/6x-108

Are you with me so far?

Answer 2

kinda this one is alot harder

Answer 3

Yes it is. Don't let the -1 on the numerator phase you out. Just focus on the denominator, which is currently 6x-108 because 6(x) - 6(18) = 6x-108

Answer 4

It's not hard... cmenendez, i can explain an easy way to do it

Answer 5

But you can stay here with kirby, i'm sure he will be able to help you out :)

Answer 6

Then you can look at the second term, which is 1/3(x+3)

= 1/3x + 3(3)
=1/(3x+9)

So far we have -1/(6x-108) + 1/(3x+9) = x-11

It is not simplified to a certain extent. Do you follow?

Answer 7

thanks i will.

Answer 8

I mean now XD it is now simplified

Answer 9

Then you can make the terms have the same denominators. The goal will be (6x-108)(3x+9)
