x/2+x/6=2
I found a common denominater of 6
3x/6+x/6=2
4x/6=2
mult. both sides by 6/1 and you get
4x=12
so x=12/4 or x=3
Is this correct/
Thanks for checking my work
I usually multiply be the common denominator right away, makes all those nasty fractions go away.
x/2 + x/6 = 2
times 6
3x + x = 12
4x = 12
x = 3
yours solution is correct but messier looking.
thank you for showing me another way to do it.
Yes, your work is correct! You successfully found a common denominator of 6 and combined the fractions. Then, you multiplied both sides of the equation by 6/1 to eliminate the fraction and simplify the equation. Finally, you solved for x by dividing both sides by 4, giving you x=3 as the solution. Well done!
