Question

Plz help x-2 1/4=1/18

Answer 1

First
Isolate the variable which in this case is x. To do this you mast do what ever you do to both sides. You add 2 1/4 to negative 2 1/4 and you do that also to 1/18.

Second
You now have x = -79/36 which also can be x = 2 7/36

X = 2 7/36

Answer 2

Answer: x = 2  11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2 1/4 = 1/18

Isolate x: x - 2 1/4 + 2 1/4 = 1/18 + 2 1/4

x = 4/72 + 2 18/72

x = 2 22/72

x = 2 11/36

Check:

2 11/36 - 2 1/4 = 1/18

2 11/36 - 2 9/36 = 1/18

2/36 = 1/18

1/18 = 1/18
