Just out of curiosity, what do you guys get for this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x + 1 }{2 } + \frac{ x - 1 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

let lcm=6 \[\frac{ 3x+3+2x-2 }{ 6 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ 5x+1 }{ 6 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

Do u need to solve for x??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :) I have an answer, although it seems wrong. I'm curious to see what you guys get XD

OpenStudy (lynfran):

multiply both side of the equation by 6 we get \[5x+1=1\]\[5x=1-1\]\[5x=0\]\[x=0\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

did u got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly, I made it x = 0, no matter how I went about it. Which just seemed wrong so I thought I'd get someone else's opinion.

OpenStudy (lynfran):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for your help :D

OpenStudy (lynfran):

welcome
