Answer 1

Answer:

83/36

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2 1/4 = 1/18

x = 1/18 + 9/4

L.C.M= 36,

x = 1x2/18x2 + 9x9/4x9

x = 2/36 + 81/36

x = 83/36

Decimal form = 2.305556

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{83}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Convert $2\frac{1}{4}$ to  improper fraction. Use this rule: $a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{ac+b}{c}$.

$x-\frac{2\times4+1}{4} = \frac{1}{18}$

2) Simplify $2\times4$ to 8.

$x-\frac{8+1}{4} =\frac{1}{18}$

3) Simplify $8+1$ to 9.

$x-\frac{9}{4} =\frac{1}{18}$

4) Add $\frac{9}{4}$ to both sides.

$x=\frac{1}{18} +\frac{9}{4}$

5) Simplify $\frac{1}{18} +\frac{9}{4}$ to $\frac{83}{36}$.

$x=\frac{83}{36}$

Decimal Form: 2.305556
