Rewrite the equation so that it does not have fractions 2- 5/6x = 7/8
1 answer:
the common denominator of 5/6 and 7/8 is 24, so multiply both sides of the equation (every term) by 24:
24(5/6)x + 24(2) = 24(7/8)
the denominators will cancel out so you have:
4(5x) + 48 = 3(7)
do the multiplication:
20x + 48 = 21
fractions have been eliminated, and if you want to continue to solve:
20x = -27
x = -27/20

6x - 12 + x = 9
6x + x - 12 = 9
Collect like terms
7x - 12 = 9
Add both sides 12
7x - 12 + 12 = 9 + 12
7x = 21
Divide both sides by 7
7x ÷ 7 = 21 ÷ 7
x = 3
Answer:
infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
any equation that is like that has infinite solutions such as 7=7 or 2=2
To solve, simply simplify each fraction
(16/32)/(16/16) = 1/2
(12/24)/(12/12) = 1/2
True, the equation given to us is true.
