Answer:
x=12
Explanation:
Let us make all the denominators equal. Since the greatest common factor (gcf) is 6, let us make the denominator 6.
x/6 = x/6
2(2x/3) = 4x/6
6(10/1) = 60/6
Now let us solve the equation
x/6 + 4x/6 = 60/6
5x/6 = 60/6
Since the denominators are equal, and these two expressions are equal, then the numerators are equal.
5x = 60
=> 5x/5 = 60/5
=> x = 12
