9/12x+8/12x=6 17/12x=6 x=72/17

2. anonymous

Kind of an awkward number :S mixed fraction: 4 4/17

3. anonymous

Correct answer was 6?!?!? This one puzzles me! lol

4. Hero

I was about to post the correct solution.

5. Hero

I can't believe you actually thought that a mixed number was the solution.

6. Hero

There aren't even any mixed numbers to begin with.

7. anonymous

Here is a similar one - 6/5x+2/10x=28/10

8. Hero

Okay, let me solve it first please

9. anonymous

ok

10. Hero

Word of advice, try to post sentences and math equations on SEPARATE lines

11. Hero

Just to confirm, is 6x/5 negative?

12. anonymous

6/5x+2/10x=28/10=?

13. anonymous

I see ur point on sep lines - thanks!

14. Hero

There you go...You see what I mean? See how easily you can confuse someone?

15. Hero

6/5x+2/10x=28/10 12x/10 + 2/10 = 28/10 14x/10 = 28/10 14x/10 - 28/10 = 0 (14x - 28)/10 = 0 14x - 28 = 0 14x = 28 x = 28/14 x = 2

16. Hero

Try x = 2 and see what happens.

17. anonymous

Hero, how did you get 6 on the first question?

18. anonymous

BINGO, Hero!!!

19. Hero

I didn't. I hadn't finished solving it before jus gave the answer.

20. Hero

But I can still post the solution to that if you want @ 14yamaka

22. Hero

k

23. anonymous

here is another one

24. anonymous

I'm probably completely misunderstanding the question lol

25. anonymous

5x-9=15+11x

26. anonymous

6x=-24 x=-4

27. Hero

I'm still trying to figure out the first one.

28. Hero

3/4x+2/3x=48/8 3x/4 + 2x/3 = 6 9x/12 + 8x/12 = 6 17x/12 = 6/1 17x = 72 x = 72/17 That's what I got which means jus may have posted it wrong.

29. Hero

Jus, from now on, when posting fractional equations, use equation editor or the drawing function because you don't know how to post fractions linearly, sorry buddy.

30. anonymous

Good advice XD it's hard for anybody to post it though lol

31. Hero

In equation editor, type frac{a}{b} to post fractions

32. anonymous

new to this - sorry. Dont even know all of the tools yet

33. Hero

For example, to post 6/5x+2/10x=28/10, do this: $\frac{6x}{5} + \frac{2x}{10} = \frac{28}{10}$ This is exactly what you type to get that: frac{6x}{5} + frac{2x}{10} = frac{28}{10} or if you want to type this: $\frac{6}{5}x + \frac{2}{10}x = \frac{28}{10}$ you type: frac{6}{5}x + frac{2}{10}x = frac{28}{10} Get it?

Thank you, hero!! Appreciate the help. :oP
