Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.

Do not use decimals in your answer.

Answer 1

x=17/14

Explanation:

(7/9)x+2=(5/6)

18 is the least common multiple between 9 and 6, so we can multiply each fraction by 18.

7 18 126

---- * ------ = -------- = 14

9 1 9

14x+2=(5/6)

5 18 90

---- * ------ = --------- = 15

6 1 6

14x+2=15

+2 +2

14x=17

x=17/14

Hope this helps!
