6?

nnesha · Answer

yes right $$\huge\rm \frac{ 3(x+6)+2(x+2) }{ 6 }=9$$
multiply the numerator of first fraction by the denominator of 2nd fraction
multiply the numerator of  2nd fraction by the denominator of 1st fraction 

 1st) multiply both sides by 6
2nd) distribute parentheses by outside number

$$\frac{ x+6 }{ 2 }+\frac{ x+2 }{ 3 }=\frac{9}{\color{red}{1}}$$This might help, too!
