Is 2x/3 the same as (2/3)x ? Just wondering

2 answers:

6 0

the best way to understand is putting a number in place of x and seeing if they are equal to eachother so just to make it simple i'll make x=6

so your first equation is 2(6)/3 =12/3=4 now the other equation would be (2/3)6 = 6

i actually solved it putting 2 in place of x and got the same answer for both so i think they're the same

Honestly i dont think so because in 2x/3 its 2 times x divided by 3 while in the other problem you divide 2/3 then multiply the answer by x! So even though that may work sometimes always double check!!!

If edging cost $2.32 per 12-inch stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 6 yards by 1 yard.

aksik [14]

12 inches = 1foot
1yard = 3feet
6yards = 18feet
Rerange the question:
If edging cost $2.32 per 1foot stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 18feet by 3feet. How much will edging you flower bed cost?
Perimter:
2(18+3)=42
And since you want to double it; double the perimeter too.
42(2)=84

2.32(84)=194.88
