Question

1/5= 6x and 1/3= 10x

In each of these what is x?x has to be the same number in each equation.

Example:
18= 2x (x is 9)

36= 4x (x is 9)

Answer 1

1/30

Explanation:

1/5 = 6x ....divide both sides by 6

(1/5) / 6 = x

1/5 * 1/6 = x

1/30 = x

1/3 = 10x...divide both sides by 10

(1/3) / 10 = x

1/3 * 1/10 = x

1/30 = x

so x = 1/30

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

1/5 = 6x

1/6*1/5 = x

x = 1/6*5 = 1/30

1/3 = 10x

1/3*1/10 = x

x = 1/3*10 = 1/30
