X/2+1/3=x/3+1/2
x/2=x/3+1/2-1/3
x/2 - x/3 = 3/6 - 2/6
x/2 - x/3 = 1/6
3x/6 - 2x/6 = 1/6
x/6 = 1/6
x = 1/6 * 6
x = 1
Answer:
121/24 or 5 1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
