Answer:

x=−6/5

Explanation:


(x)/(3) - 2 + (x)/(2) + 6 = 3\\

Simplify both sides of the equation:


(x)/(3) - 2 + (x)/(2) + 6 = 3


(1)/(3) x + -2 + (1)/(2) x + 6 = 3


( 1/3x + 1/2x ) + ( −2+6 ) = 3 (Combine Like Terms)


5/6 x + 4 = 3

Subtract 4 from both sides:


5/6x + 4−4= 3−4


5/6x = −1

Multiply both sides by 6/5:


(6/5) * (5/6x) = (6/5) * (−1)


x=−6/5

(X/3 - 2) + (X/2 + 6) = 3

X/3 - 2 + X/2 + 6 =3

5X/6 + 4 = 3

5X/6 = 3 - 4

5X/6 = - 1

5X = - 1 times 6

5X = - 6

X = - 6/5

And in decimal form: - 1.2
