x/3 = x + 10 /6
try multiplying each term by 6 then simplify then move the x's terms to one side and then divide
x/3 * 6
x+10 *6
I'm lost
x/3 times 6= 6x/3 =2x
x time 6 = 6x
10/6=60/6=10
2x =6x+10
-6x -6x
____________
-4x/-4 = 10/4
x=10/4
To solve the equation (x/3) = (x + 10)/6, we need to eliminate the fractions. Here's how you can do it:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 6, which is 6. This will eliminate the fractions.
(6 * (x/3)) = (6 * (x + 10)/6)
2. Simplify each side of the equation:
2x = x + 10
3. Now, we can solve for x by isolating the variable on one side of the equation:
2x - x = x + 10 - x
x = 10
Therefore, the solution to the equation (x/3) = (x + 10)/6 is x = 10.
