\[\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }x-\frac{ 6 }{ 11 }=\frac{ 7 }{ 10 }x-\frac{ 9 }{ 11 }\]
OpenStudy (prizzyjade):

3/10 x and 7/10 x =1x
OpenStudy (gatsbyyy):
Ohh Okay
OpenStudy (gatsbyyy):
So far I have:
\[-\frac{ 6 }{ 11 }=x-\frac{ 9 }{ 11}\]
OpenStudy (thecatman):
sorry fing the gcf
OpenStudy (gatsbyyy):

33/110 x - 60/110 = 77/110x - 90/110
OpenStudy (thecatman):
now try
OpenStudy (gatsbyyy):
Why would i have to do that if I got rid of the 10 fractions since the 3/10 + 7/10 adds up to just 1?
OpenStudy (thecatman):
math is complicated but this is how my teacher taught it
