Question

[x(x+1)]/2 = (2x-3)/3 +1

I will give a medal to someone who can explain the steps, thanks!

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x(x+1) }{ 2 }=\frac{ 2x-3 }{ 3 }+1\] I will give a medal to someone who can explain the steps, thanks!

Answer 2

solve for \(x\) ?

Answer 3

probably easiest thing to do is get rid of annoying denominators by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(6\) to start with
\[3x(x-1)=2(2x-3)+6\] now at least you have no denominators

Answer 4

you good from there? multiply out, and solve the resulting quadratic equation

Answer 5

I think so, thanks!

Answer 6

k let me know if you need other help, but it is now much easier without denominators
