2/3x=4/6x
1/2x=3/6x
4/6x-5=3/6x-3
add 5 to both sides
4/6x=3/6x+2
subtract 3/6x from both sides
1/6x=2
multiply both sides by 6
x=12

12*10^5 or 1.2*10^6 which one is closer to 1 million? please explain.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
12*10^5 = 12*100000 = 1200000 ;
1200000 - 1000000 = 200000 ;
1.2*10^6 = 1.2*1000000 = 1200000;
1200000 - 1000000 = 200000;
Because 2000000 = 200000, neither of the two numbers is closer to 1 milion !
