Solve (2/3)-(1/x)=5/6

Keith_Richards [23]

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{6}$ Multiply both sides by 3
$2 - \frac{1(3)}{x} = \frac{5(3)}{6}$ Simplify the numerators
$2 - \frac{3}{x} = \frac{15}{6}$ Multiply both sides by 6
$12 - \frac{3(6)}{x} = 15$ Simplify the numerator
$12 - \frac{18}{x} = 15$ Multiply both sides by x
12x - 18 = 15x Subtract 12x from both sides
-18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3
-6 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = -6

Check your answer by plugging -6 in for the x in the original problem:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{6}$ Plug in -6 for x
$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{-6} = \frac{5}{6}$ Change $\frac{2}{3}$ to $\frac{4}{6}$ so all denominators are the same
$\frac{4}{6} - \frac{1}{-6} = \frac{5}{6}$ Change $\frac{1}{-6}$ to $\frac{-1}{6}$ for easier work
$\frac{4}{6} - \frac{-1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$ Subtract the numerators (4 - (-1) )
$\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{5}{6}$

So, x = -6 .

Solve for k<br>8k-2z=16

jeka57 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

8k -2z = 16

to solve for k let's add 2z both sides

8k = 16+2z

divide both sides of the equation by 8

8k/8= 16+2z/8

k= 16+2Z /8

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 3 → (1)

2x - y = 6 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3
