Question

What is the value of x for the equation: x/3+x=x/6-1

Answer 1

I think the answer may be

X=2

Explanation:

x÷3+x=x÷6-1

Add the common factors together to get

2x÷3=x÷6-1

subtract on the right side to get

2x÷3=x÷5

subtract 3 from both sides to get

2x=x÷2

subtract x from both sides to get

1x=2

Answer 2

(x/3) + x = (x/6) - 1
6x/3x = 2x
2x + x = 3x
3x = -1
x = -1/3
