Question

How do i solve x-3/18 = 12/9? (Proportions and Ratios)

Answer 1

Hey there!

`\bold{x-(3)/(18)=(12)/(9)}`

• Firstly, you have to simplify both sides of your equation
• 
  `\bold{x+(-1)/(6)=(4)/(3)}`
• Secondly, you have to
  `\bold{add}` by
  `\bold{(1)/(6)}` on each of your sides that you're working with
• 
  `\bold{x+(-1)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(4)/(3)+(1)/(6)}`
• 
  `\bold{Cancel:(-1)/(6)+(1)/(6)}` because it gives you the result of
  `\bold{0}`
• 
  `\bold{Keep:(4)/(3)+(1)/(6)}` because it gives you the answer for
  `\bold{x}`
• 
  `\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=(3)/(2)}}}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
