Solve for x
x/6-x/8 equals 1
Do fraction busters
Find the least common denominator, which is 24. Change the fractions to where they have the same denominator. Change 1 to equal 24/24, and solve. Did this help?
x/6 + x/8 = 1
multiply each term by 24, the lowest common denominator.
4x + 3x = 24
x=24/7
nop
My apologies for any confusion earlier. Let's solve the equation step by step.
To solve the equation x/6 - x/8 = 1, we can find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 24.
First, let's rewrite the equation with a common denominator of 24:
(8x - 6x) / 48 - (6x - 8x) / 48 = 1
Now we can simplify the equation:
2x / 48 = 1
Next, let's multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator (48) to eliminate the fraction:
48 * (2x / 48) = 1 * 48
This simplifies to:
2x = 48
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
2x / 2 = 48 / 2
x = 24
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 24.
I apologize again for any confusion earlier. I hope this explanation is more helpful in solving the equation. Let me know if you have any further questions!
