2/3x-6=1/2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the lcd 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix can you help me when your done please. thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 36

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Does this say (2/3)x - 6 = (1/2)x?

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

If it is then yes the LCD is 6

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

You can cross multiply So 4x=3x-6

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Hmm I don't think I understand what you did, but I am sure that your result isn't correct. If you want to multiply the x terms by something then you need to include the 6 too.

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

The expression is 2/(3x-6)=1/(2x)

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Ohh that's very different then

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

I would get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by each of them

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

So yes what you did is right

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Do you get it.

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

You can cross multiply So 4x=3x-6

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Yes that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

2/3x-6=1/2x Convert fractions to a similar denominator 4/6x - 6 = 3/6x Subtract 3/6 from 4/6 and add 6 to both sides 1/6x = 6 Multiply both sides by 6 x = 36
