Question

2/3 x - 1 = 9 - 1/6 x Im supposed to solve but i need some help

Answer 1

x=12

Explanation:

first, you need to get the variable to one side

the easiest way to do it and not deal with negatives would be this way:

2/3x - 1 = 9 - 1/6x

+1/6x +1/6x in order to do this you must first convert the 2/3 to 4/6

to then get

5/6x - 1 = 9

then solve it like normal

5/6x - 1 = 9

+1 +1

5/6x = 10

/ 5/6 /5/6

x=12

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

collect the x stuff on one side

2/3 x + 1/6 x = 9 + 1

5/6 x = 10

x = 12
