Question

Which value of x makes this sentence true?

1/2 + x=10/11
A:9/22
B:11/13
C:8/9
D:13/22

Answer 1

x=9/22

Explanation:

u have to subtract 1/2 on both sides, so u can get X by itself

1/2-1/2+x=10/11-1/2

get the common denominator for 10/11 and 1/2

10/11 times 2/2=20/22

1/2 times 11/11=11/22

20/22-11/22= 9/22

x=9/22

ANSWER CHECK

substitute the variable X for 1/22

1/2+9/22=10/11

common denominator

1/2 times 11/11=11/22

11/22+9/22= 20/22 or 10/11

Answer 2

9/22

Explanation:

1/2 + x=10/11

Subtract 1/2 from each side

1/2-1/2 + x=10/11-1/2

x = 10/11 -1/2

Getting a common denominator of 22

x = 10/11*2/2 -1/2 *11/11

x = 20/22 - 11/22

x = 9/22
