Equation Solution

solution to the equation 1 third is equal to 2 x minus 10

Solution

The equation you're referring to is:

13=2x10\frac{1}{3} = 2x - 10

Let's solve for xx:

  1. Add 10 to both sides: 13+10=2x\frac{1}{3} + 10 = 2x 13+303=2x\frac{1}{3} + \frac{30}{3} = 2x 313=2x\frac{31}{3} = 2x

  2. Divide both sides by 2: x=3132=316x = \frac{\frac{31}{3}}{2} = \frac{31}{6}

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

x=316x = \frac{31}{6}

Do you have any other equations you'd like to solve or need further clarification?


Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. How would the solution change if the equation had been 14=2x10\frac{1}{4} = 2x - 10?
  2. What would happen if you had to solve 3x5=2x+73x - 5 = 2x + 7?
  3. What methods can you use to solve linear equations like this one without fractions?
  4. How would you check your solution after solving for xx?
  5. What is the general process to solve for xx in linear equations involving fractions?

Tip: When solving equations with fractions, it's often helpful to clear the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD).
