9/2 = x + 4/6

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to first simplify the equation on both sides.

9/2 = x + 4/6

To simplify the equation, we can find a common denominator for the fractions on the right side of the equation. The common denominator for 2 and 6 is 6.

Converting 9/2 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 6 gives us:

9/2 = 9 * 3 / 2 * 3 = 27/6

Thus, the equation becomes:

27/6 = x + 4/6

Now, we can subtract 4/6 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:

27/6 - 4/6 = x + 4/6 - 4/6
(27-4)/6 = x + 0
23/6 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is:

x = 23/6
