Question

Solve for x using common denominators.

2 over the quantity 3 times the binomial x minus 1 equals x over the quantity x minus 1

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 2/3

Explanation:

The common denominator would be 3(x-1). Thus, you need to multiply the expression on the right by 3/3 to achieve a common denominator. Then you would have 3x/3(x-1).

The equation then is 2/3(x-1) = 3x/3(x-1)

You can cancel out the denominators now, and you have 2 = 3x, so x = 2/3
