Question

How do i solve x-3/18 = 12/9? (Proportions and Ratios)

Answer 1

Hey there!

$\bold{x-\frac{3}{18}=\frac{12}{9}}$

• Firstly, you have to simplify both sides of your equation
• $\bold{x+\frac{-1}{6}=\frac{4}{3}}$
• Secondly, you have to $\bold{add}$ by  $\bold{\frac{1}{6}}$ on each of your sides that you're working with
• $\bold{x+\frac{-1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}$
• $\bold{Cancel:\frac{-1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}}$ because it gives you the result of  $\bold{0}$
• $\bold{Keep:\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}$ because it gives you the answer for $\bold{x}$
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=\frac{3}{2}}}}$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
