solve for x if 1/15(6+x)=1/6(x+3)
Answered by bobpursley
are the ( ) quantities in the numerator or denominators?
Answered by Nita
both
Answered by bobpursley
both? then you need to write it such as it is. Right now, both are in the denominator.
Answered by Nita
i do not know how to,but take for instance it was for the numerator alone
Answered by Reiny
the way you typed according to BEDMAS

(1/15)(6+x)=(1/6)(x+3)

multiply both sides by 30
2(6+x) = 5(x+3)
now it is easy, carry on

What Bob meant was:
did you mean,

1/(15(6+x)) =1/(6(x+3)) ?

then we have an entirely different ballgame
