OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I would subtract \(\dfrac{1}{10}\) from both sides and then simplify the right hand side.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

3/11 x + 1/10 = 7/6 -8/11 +7/6

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

7/6 + 7/6 = 14/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

-8/11 -1/10 We need the common denominator which is 110 -80/110 -11/110 equals -91/110

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

so 3/11 x = 14/6 -91/110

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH OK ONE SECOND JUST WRITING THIS DOWN

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@wolf1728 Whatabout 1 over 10

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

We moved it to the right side as -1/10 then added it to -8/11 and got -91/110

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought we couldnt do that since it was -8/11x i thought we'd have added it to 14/6 since it's not a variable

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

No it is NOT -8/11 x

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Let's start again 3/11 x + 1/10 = 7/6 -8/11 +7/6 we can can -1/10 to both sides and get 3/11 x = 7/6 -8/11 +7/6 -1/10 3/11 x = 14/6 -8/11 -1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dang it I'm sorry I wrote the equation wrong again it's suppose to be -8/11x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/11 x + 1/10 = 7/6 -8/11x +7/6

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So it is 3/11 x + 1/10 = 7/6 -8/11x +7/6 Let's add -3/11 to both sides 1/10 = 7/6 -11/11x +7/6 Let's add -14/6 to both sides 1/10 -14/6 = -11/11x Let's just call -11/11x as -x 1/10 -14/6 = -x Now we have to add 1/10 and -14/6

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I made a mistake I should have said let's add -3/11x to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

For adding 1/10 and -14/6 we need the common denominator which is 30 So we now add 3/30 and -70/30 which equals -67/30 So -67/30 =-x Multiplying both sides by -1 we get x = 67/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we have to find the lcd right

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Already did that - see above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how'd you get -14/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was positive

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

But I added -14/6 to both sides which eliminated the fractions on the right side and put -14/6 on the left side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh got it

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I think I typed out the rest of the explanation too okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i got67/30

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank uuu!!! i wish i had u in my pocket all the time lol

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Thanks !!

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

gonna get going

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay Thank you so much !! Have a great night @wolf1728

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

thanks :-)
