Question

Everything I do is not right help please

Answer 1

49 - 2/3 x = 32 - 1/6 x

Move the constant terms to one side and the terms containing x to the other:

49 - 32 = 2/3 x - 1/6 x

Simplify the left side, and pull out the common factor of x on the right side:

17 = (2/3 - 1/6) x

Write the fractions in terms of a common denominator. In this case, you would take

2/3 = 4/6

so that

(2/3 - 1/6) x = (4/6 - 1/6) x = 3/6 x = 1/2 x

Then the equation is

17 = 1/2 x

Multiply both sides by 2:

2 × 17 = 2 × 1/2 x

34 = x
