1/2x + 3 = 2/3x + 1....multiply everything by the common denominator of 6
3x + 18 = 4x + 6
3x - 4x = 6 - 18
-x = - 12
x = 12 <====

multiplying by the common denominator will get rid of the fractions

1/2x+3=2/3x+1
Your goal is to get all the x's on one side and all the numbers on the other side initially in order to solve for x.

1/2x+3=2/3x+1
subtract 1 from both sides
1/2x+2=2/3x
now you need to find the least common multiple of both denominators and multiply that number by both the numerator and demoninator

The least common multiple of both denominators is 6.
2 goes into 6 3 times, so you have to multiply the 1/2 by 3/3.
3 goes into 6 2 times, so you have to multiply the 2/3 by 2/2.

2=4/6x - 3/6x
2=1/6x
In order to divide the 1/6 fraction, you multiply both sides by its inverse of 6/1.

2(6/1)= 1/6 * 6/1x
12=x

You can check the answer to be sure it's correct.
1/2x+3=2/3x+1
2= 4/6(12) - 3/6(12)
2=8-6
2=2

Hope this helps!!  :)

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x-6y=0?
Lina20 [59]
Equation of a line is:

y=mx+C

------------------------

We're looking for m as m stands for gradient.

2x-6y=0 (Divide all terms by 2)

x-3y=0

3y=x

y=1/3x

y=1/3x+0

Therefore m=1/3, C=0.

Sindrei [870]
Answer:
$713.8

Explanation:
14%of 860 = 120.4

3% of 860 = 25.8

so, subtract the sum of the above 2 values from 860.

860 - (120.4+25.8) = 860-146.2 = 713.8

Hope this helps
