Question

Solving equations with fractions- how do i solve this

Answer 1

83/36

Explanation:

x - 2 1/4 = 1/18

x = 1/18 + 9/4

L.C.M= 36,

x = 1x2/18x2 + 9x9/4x9

x = 2/36 + 81/36

x = 83/36

Decimal form = 2.305556

Answer 2

`x=(83)/(36)`

Explanation:

1) Convert
`2(1)/(4)` to improper fraction. Use this rule:
`a(b)/(c) =(ac+b)/(c)`.

`x-(2*4+1)/(4) = (1)/(18)`

2) Simplify
`2*4` to 8.

`x-(8+1)/(4) =(1)/(18)`

3) Simplify
`8+1` to 9.

`x-(9)/(4) =(1)/(18)`

4) Add
`(9)/(4)` to both sides.

`x=(1)/(18) +(9)/(4)`

5) Simplify
`(1)/(18) +(9)/(4)` to
`(83)/(36)`.

`x=(83)/(36)`

Decimal Form: 2.305556
