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

What is the remainder of 67 divided by 3?
hammer [34]
The remainder for 67 divided by 3 would be 1 because (this might be a bad explanation since i'm not good at explaining math without showing u my work) if u do divide 6 by 3, 3x2 is 6 and 6-6 is 0. Then if u divide 7 by 3, then 6 is the closest u can get to 7 without multiplying by a decimal. Then if u do 7-6, u get 1 and u cant divide 1 by 3 so the remainder would be 1.
