Question

If x/2 - 4 = x/3 - 1 , then x =
a) 3
b) 6
c) 18
d) 2​

Answer 1

Solution :

=> x/2 - 4 = x/3 - 1

=> x/2 - x/3 = -1 + 4

=> 3x - 2x/6 = 3

=> x/6 = 3

=> x = 6 × 3

=> x = 18 ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{x}{2} - 4 = \frac{x}{3} - 1 \\ \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{3} = 4 - 1 \\ \frac{(3x - 2x)}{6} = 3 \\ \frac{x}{6} = 3 \\ x = 6 \times 3 \\ \boxed{x = 18}$

• c) x = 18 is the right answer.
