Question

X+1 2/3 =2 3/8 what is x

Answer 1

X=17/24

Explanation:

first you need to find common denominators. To find it, you would multiply the denominator of the 1 2/3 and the 2 3/8.8*3=24, which means the denominator is 24. For 1 2/3, we multiplied 3*8 so we also have to do it for 2. The new equation is x+1 16/24=2 3/8. But remember, we still have to multiply 8*3, which means we have to multiply 3*3 too.

New equation:x+1 16/24=2 9/24

Now we can subtract 1 16/24 from each side

X=17/24
