Answer:
x = -X OR x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know if the capital 'X' was a different variable, so I did both calculations.
2(x - 3) + 9 = 3(x + 1) + X
= 2x - 6 + 9 = 3x + 3 + X
= 2x + 3 = X + 3x + 3
= -x = X
= x = -X
2(x - 3) + 9 = 3(x + 1) + x
= 2x - 6 + 9 = 3x + 3 + x
= 2x + 3 = 4x + 3
= -2x = 0
= x = 0
18 is the least common denominator of all the fractions, so you can eliminate fractions by multiplying the equation by 18.
(4.5*18)x +((7/9)*18)x + (2 1/3)*18 + ((1/6)*18)x = (5 1/18)*18
81x +14x +42 +3x = 91 . . . . . simplify
Collect terms.
98x + 42 = 91
98x = 49 . . . . . . . . . subtract 42
x = 49/98 = 1/2
The solution is x = 1/2.

You can also do the arithmetic with mixed numbers and fractions. The usual methods apply.
(4.5 + 7/9 + 1/6)x + 2 1/3 = 5 1/18
(49/9)x + 7/3 = 91/18
(49/9)x = 49/18 . . . . . . . subtract 7/3
x = (9/49)(49/18) = 9/18 = 1/2 . . . . . multiply by 9/49
This can be a little more tedious than the method above, but it works and it will give you the right answer. A calculator that works with fractions can make this solution as easy as the other one.
