Question

What is the solution to the equation x over 3 + x over 6 = 7 over 2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{6} = \frac{7}{2}$

Multiplying both sides by LCM of 3 and 6

So,

$\frac{x}{3}*6+\frac{x}{6}*6 = \frac{7}{2}*6\\2x+x=7*3\\3x=21\\\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3}\\ x=7$

Hence, the solution of the equation is x=7 ..

Answer 2

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x/3)+(x/6)=7/2

add variables

(2x+x)/6=7/2

combine like terms

3x/6=7/2

simplify

x/2=7/2

multiply denominators by 2

x=7
