## anonymous one year ago Need help with process, im stumped x+6/2 + x+2/3 =9

1. anonymous

$\frac{ x+6 }{ 2 }+\frac{ x+2 }{ 3 }=9$ Answer = 32/5 Unknown how to reach the correct answer

2. Nnesha

first find common denominator

3. anonymous

6?

4. Nnesha

yes right $\huge\rm \frac{ 3(x+6)+2(x+2) }{ 6 }=9$ multiply the numerator of first fraction by the denominator of 2nd fraction multiply the numerator of 2nd fraction by the denominator of 1st fraction 1st) multiply both sides by 6 2nd) distribute parentheses by outside number

$\frac{ x+6 }{ 2 }+\frac{ x+2 }{ 3 }=\frac{9}{\color{red}{1}}$This might help, too!

6. anonymous

$\frac{ 5x+22 }{ 6 }=9$ $6\times9=54$ $54-22=32$ $32\div5=\frac{ 32 }{ 5 }$

As long as you understand the method, everything works. I was a little confused at first since you hadnt written out your steps but after solving it,it looks good :)
