Question

Solve x/2 + y/3 = 1 for x

Answer 1

Answer:

First, you have to make both fractions the same denorminators :

$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1$

$\frac{x \times 3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{y \times 2}{3 \times 2} = 1$

$\frac{3x}{6} + \frac{2y}{6} = 1$

Next, you have make them into 1 fraction :

$\frac{3x + 2y}{6} = 1$

Then, you have to multiply both sides by 6, in order to get rid fraction :

$\frac{3x + 2y}{6} \times 6 = 1 \times 6$

$3x + 2y = 6$

Lastly, you have to move all the unrelated terms to the other side :

$3x + 2y = 6$

$3x = 6 - 2y$

$x = \frac{6}{3} - \frac{2}{3} y$

$x = 2 - \frac{2}{3} y$

Therefore, the value of x is :

$x = 2 - \frac{2}{3} y$
