1/3x+1/4=x-1/6
4/12x+3/12=x-2/12
After this step I get confused. I don't need the answer, but rather the steps I need to take to solve (this makes me feel less guilty about cheating.) This is review work, which means we didn't review it in class, and I'm lost. Thanks!
Answers:
Subtract 4/12x from both sides to get the x's together and add 2/12 to both sides to get the x's alone. then divide both sides by whatever number is in front of x.
3/12 + 2/12 = x - 4/12x
5/12 = 12/12x - 4/12x
5/12 = 8/12x
(5/12)/(8/12) = x
