Question

unklerhaukus · Answer

is it 

x+(1/5) = 2x-(2/6)

or

(x+1)/5 = (2x-2)/6

?

anonymous · Answer

(x+1)/5 = (2x-2)/6

shamim · Answer

2x-x=1/5+2/6
right?

unklerhaukus · Answer

(x+1)/5 = (2x-2)/6

start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5
and then multiply both sides by 6

what do you get ?

anonymous · Answer

Just the equation because what I by multiplying 5 and 6 on both sides didn't make sense

unklerhaukus · Answer

(x+1)/5 = (2x-2)/6

multiplying both sides of the equation by 5

5  *  (x+1)/5 = 5 * (2x-2)/6

        (x+1)    = 5 * (2x-2)/6

unklerhaukus · Answer

can you now multiply both sides by 6 @Ilovedogs21  ?

anonymous · Answer

I got 4 for the final answer

unklerhaukus · Answer

if you want to check you answer   x=4
sub it into the original equation

(x+1)/5 = (2x-2)/6


(4+1)/5 = (2(4)-2)/6   If this equation is true, then you have found the correct solution
