PLEASE HELP, I need the answer! it would make a huge difference. 6 – 3/4x + 1/3 = 1/2x + 5
Do u need the value of x?
Yes here are the option: a.2 b.3 c.6 d.12
*options
@rhr12 it'd e great if you could help
Okay. Hold on
Thanks :)
\[6-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+5\]\[6\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+5\]\[1\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x\]\[2\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }-\frac{ 6 }{ 4 }x=x\]\[2\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 10 }{ 4 }x\]\[\frac{ 8 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 10 }{ 4 }x\]\[8=\frac{ 30 }{ 4 }x\]\[32=30x\]
but this answer ain't one of the options
I got 16/3
Thanks for the help! but yes it's not there... I just re-read it. The question wants to know which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before actually solving it.
wait i made a typo in the working...
Sorry for the mistake, do you know the answer?
Is it (6-3)/x +1/3 = 1/2x+5?
Or 6-(3/x)?
The answer? Its one of these: a.2 b.3 c.6 d.12
Which one?
No idea, I should know but.... I don't :(
plug in every option and try :)
Ya, I guess I will...Thanks guys! :)
The problem is braces. U didn't indicate where it is. That is so confusing
Let me send you the whole question
Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? 6 – 3/4 x + 1/3 = 1/2 x + 5 a.2 b.3 c.6 d.12
d
its asking what of this number you can multiply on both sides and not get any fractions
D is not correct i guess
@saseal It's fine, but thanks! @rhr12 Thank you for trying :)
Do u get the correct answer?
I think it's 3
Hopefully, I'll let you know. Sucks because they don't let you know (the program I am in) it just goes toward your grade.
i wish my school does this kind of test
Aight don't choose three. Take your own guess and best of luck. I took online geo final yesterday and i took guess for more than 30 questions but i get 81. But i don't know how. There were 51 questions. Believe yourself and take ur guess. 😝
@saseal great online class but long videos, guess I should put more attention :( @rhr12 Thanks a lot I really appreciate the help, ya guessung comes in handy
*guessing
i usually take online classes from edx but they are at calculus and above level. the reason why i tell you 12 is theres 3 fractions in this equation , 3/4, 1/3, 1/2. only 12 is the LCM of this 3 denominator
Calculus, that's great! I bet you like Math
nah, but its a requirement in my civil engineering course
College? University?
a Pre-Uni tech school
we can skip the 1st year of civil engineering in a local uni in my country and continue to degree with their diploma
Awesome, sounds great. Less is better, I am assuming it will get you there sooner?
Obviously... :)
its 1 year longer than college to uni but less stressful and you get to actually use what you learned
its more fun
our college is 2 years and tech school is 3 years
@saseal what state u r in?
Not that bad, 1 more year makes a great difference. You could spend that year doing other things but instead using it there is best. And like you said things you will use and it's fun... it's worth your time :)
singapore, asia
Very cool!
I'm kinda asian. I mean my parents are from south asia
@saseal
thats cool
Okay. Bye. I better give u a medal
bai too
Bye, got to go. Thanks again!
