Solve the following equation. 2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4 x

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply through by the lowest common multiple of 3, 2 and 4

To clear the fractions multiply through by 12

The equation can now be written as

8x + 72 = 6x + 3x, that is

8x + 72 = 9x ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- x + 72 = 0 ( subtract 72 from both sides )

- x = - 72 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 72

x=72

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4 x

Multiply both sides by 12 to get rid of the fractions

12(2/3x + 6) = 12(1/2x + 1/4 x)

8x +72 = 6x +3x

Combine like terms

8x+72 = 9x

Subtract 8x from each side

8x-8x+72 = 9x-8x

72 = x

10

step-by-step explanation:

7+3=10

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
