Find the number such that when 3/4 of it is added 3 1/2 the sum is the same way as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6 1/2.
3/4 of it is added 3 1/2 the sum is the same way as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6 1/2
The way I see it is
3/4 x + 3 1/2 = 6 1/2 - 2/3 x
17/12 x = 3
x = 36/17
Do you mean?
3/4 of it is added TO 3 1/2 OF IT, (note the comma)
sum is the same ___ as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6 1/2 OF IT.
