Question

$\frac{9 - 3x}2 = 2 \frac{4x}6{?}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\\ \\ \frac{9 - 3x}{2} = 2\frac{4x}{6} \\ \\ \frac{9 - 3x}{2} = \frac{2 \times 6 + 4x}{6} \\ \\ \frac{9 - 3x}{2} = \frac{12 + 4x}{6} \\ \\ \bf{}cross \: \: multiply \\ \\ 6(9 - 3x) = 2(12 + 4x) \\ \\ 54 - 18x = 24 + 8x \\ \\ - 18x - 8x = 24 - 54 \\ \\ - 26x = - 30 \\ \\ \frac{ - 26x}{ - 26} = \frac{ - 30}{ - 26} \\ \\ x = - \frac{15}{13} \\ \\ \red{x = - 1 \frac{2}{13} }$
