Question

Solve 20 - x/3 = x/2 , put the number only in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

X=24

Step-by-step explanation:

20=x/2+x/3

20=1/2x +1/3x

20=5/6x

20÷5/6=x

X=24

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

$20 - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{x}{2}$

Multiply through by the LCM that's 6 in order to eliminate the fraction

That's

$6 \times 20 - 6 \times \frac{x}{3} = 6 \times \frac{x}{2} \\ 120 - 2x = 3x$

Using the addition property add 2x to both sides of the equation

That's

$3x + 2x = 120 + 2x - 2x \\ 5x = 120$

Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{120}{5}$

We have the final answer as

x = 24

Hope this helps you
