help solve x + 1/6= 1/3 thanks
x + 1/6 = 1/3
x = 1/3 - 1/6
x = ?
Finish it from there!
X+(1/6)=(1/3)
get X by itself by subtracting 1/6th from both sides.
x(+1/6)-(1/6)=(1/3)-(1/6)
x=(1/3)-(1/6)
x=(1/6)
These operations of getting the variable(s) on one side will be the basis of many of your future calculations as you progress through mathematics.
You are right,Mithra! Also the student's success in the higher math
depends on how well they master the algebra.
To solve the equation x + 1/6 = 1/3, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Get rid of the fraction 1/6 by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator 6:
6(x + 1/6) = 6(1/3)
Step 2: Simplify the equation by distributing 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
6x + 6/6 = 6/3
Step 3: Simplify further:
6x + 1 = 2
Step 4: Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x:
6x + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1
6x = 1
Step 5: Divide by 6 to solve for x:
(6x)/6 = 1/6
Step 6: Simplify the equation:
x = 1/6
Therefore, the solution to the equation x + 1/6 = 1/3 is x = 1/6.
