Question

Solve the equation 44-x/5 = x/6 - - - -- - -- - - -- - --- - - -- - - -- -

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

• 44 - x/5 = x/6 ⇒ add x/5 to both sides
• x/6 + x/5 = 44 ⇒ add up fractions by bringing to common denominator
• 11x/30 = 44
• x = 44*30/11 ⇒ multiply both sides by 30/11
• x = 4*30
• x = 120 ⇒ answer
